Jason Masino


Negative Sugar
 
inverted carbon chains
around my neck,
 
of man /of corn
chained to your lemon powder
& pink food coloring
 
I rise from the ass
of a beaver,
squeezed from glands
 
questioning health,
lest ye be left
in a diabetic coma
 
negative sugar/
just as fickle
 
hidden inside of
a yellow world
 
negative
 
as in: reduced to nothing
as in: caloric
as in: celery
as in: energy surplus
 
as I am spent;
worth ten cents
 
hold a packet of me
up to a mirror --
I murmur that
I won’t get out of bed
for less than $300 million
 
a cult hit,
so join my club;
buck my lucky stars
& shove me back
into the cupboard

Dancing for you into next week
