When I say add
sugar
you'll just scoop and tip
the spoon
and watch it sprinkle
into the bowl
very few if no questions
are ever asked
the good news is that we'll all
basically want to go to the same places
in life
and we are willing to write the poems
sing the songs
and dance the dances that will get us there
