sugartit
sugartit
why don’t you sit
to give him some
sugartit

"I’m a kid can’t sit still
without my sugartit,
I fear to become
a criminal hard as rock
if I don’t get
sugartit

"even if
I’m sixty-six
and grew up in the sticks

"This life of crime
is on my own time
and yours,
you make sweet what’s sour

"What did I do
without you
driving the car
after the war

"Crime is what you do
when you lose
sanity
and turn to vanity

"No matter what,
I had to have my sugartit"

(two days after the election of the fascista)
