SUGAR
I ate cookies & watched the naked
bodies
on LSD
the rapid eye motion,
the summer boredom,
the eye skin
torn to welts
after exposure to
the
sun, our giver
of stardust,
happiness, & boils
I fell asleep
(I'm sorry)
on the LifeSaver
floatie; I
drifted,
coughed
Grand Rapids
in my chest; still,
there is a
desire
I cannot quench
