now, when I was a kid
my mom always said
when you dropped
some food
on the floor
you had five seconds
to pick it up
and kiss it up to God
and then,
and only then,
was it was safe
to eat
it
I always wondered:
does the same rule
still hold true
if at the time
I was picking
my nose
and dropped a
booger?
