Cute little red haired girl
six or seven
in clashing bright pink blouse
stands in line with Mom
and others waiting
to get their books signed.
Thinking she is alone
she dips her finger
deep inside her nose
working feverishly
with dexterity
until –
Eureka!
– it dislodges a prize
she examines
like discovered treasure
an unrefined nugget
that she mindlessly
takes to her mouth
before she mines
the other side.
