Margaux Fragoso, _Sugar, Spice and Everything

Sugar, Spice and Everything
.................................

I'm a sugar girl,
I like Bazooka Joe gum,
When it's chewed up, though,
I spit it out, and find a new piece.

I'm a sour girl,
I like pickles and lemons,
I like raindrops on window screens, fireflies,
How do I taste down there?

I was eight when you asked me to put my mouth and
(suck on it)
I'm eating my vegetables, I'm saying my prayers,
I'm a nice girl, I'm really nice.
