sugar craving

when

the desire for a sweet

hits

your brain,

that's it.

you're stuck until

something

gooey

is in your mouth.

the craving has begun.

a gum

drop will do,

an old candy bar

from

Halloween,

a candy cane with the

plastic

glued to it,

or 

that plate of Christmas

candy,

melded together,

still on your mother's

coffee table

in the other room.
