the myth of sugar

what would be my name if this was sugar skull instead
what would be my face if sugar drip it wasn//'//t red

if the days passed by like cavities
the nights like bellyache
each morning rotten sweetness creeps
underneath the goodness sake

if we lived in sugar skull, there//'//d be no troubles sour
there//'//d be no giving back molasses destiny, caramel hour

there//'//d be no salted water to compare to syrup tears
that cut rivers down your sugared cheeks and and like magic, disappear

there//'//d be no satisfaction in the amazingly mundane,
there//'//d be no shiny sweetened suffering to soil sane

there//'//d be only our skulls as they dance away their bone
a parade of broken skulls that breathe and believe only in stone

it gets going by the 5th stanza and is reall good by the eighth.

Only criticism is I think you mention skulls a few too many times.

I like it Josh. A little outside your norm, but that only makes it better. I/'/ll need to reread this one a few times. If you want to be my hero, you could p.m. with a little background on this so I comprehend/'/ a little more.

Some cool lines in here! Seemingly born out of candy, and ultimately taking on a darker tone.

//If the days passed by like cavities
The nights like bellyache

Underneath the goodness sake/

Great stuff.
