Snot
When I was eight I flicked a booger at the ceiling in the shower.
I was too short to reach it
and it stayed there for a year.
I’m sure my family saw it
but no one cleaned it
because who wants someone else’s snot on their hands?
When I was a little older I did it again.
I was big enough to reach it this time,
but it stayed there for a year.
We even had a shower hose by then
but nobody sprayed it
because who wants someone else’s snot on their head?
When I got a little bit older I picked you one night.
I was pretty tall by this point
but I knew you were still out of my reach
so I was pretty sure you’d stick around for at least a year.
But you never invited me back
because who wants someone else’s snot all over their bathroom?
