Special treats allowed on Sunday afternoons.
‘What would you like children?’
‘Sugar sandwiches for tea please Mum.’
Thin bread, thin spread, bread and scrape – end of month.
Sprinkle sugar, press it in, add the lid slice, squeeze.
Cut in half, bring to mouth, inhale the smell of gritty
sugar granules against the teeth.
Salivared sweetness liquids through to the taste.
Sweet to child.
Cheap to Mum,
at the end of the month.
Soon no teeth at the ends of the mouth.
