body parts

if you were the sleep in my eye
i wouldn't rub my face when i woke up -
i'd let you hang around until
at least
the early afternoon.

or maybe even longer. maybe
i'd let you crinkle there the
next night, and the next night -
you'd accumulate, at first just microscopic
building til I wore you-goggles and
my world would get kaleidoscopic.

if i was a booger in your nose
i bet you'd pick me, but then
would you flick me? or would you peek
each way - the coast is clear! - then tuck
me right back where you found me?
