When I got home
from India
after six months,
I ate
with a fork
and it was like
licking
a doorknob
after every
bite.
I read recently
that the only two
parts of our body
that have unique prints
are the fingers
and the
tongue.
Sometimes
in the effort
to sanitize
our modern world,
we find out later
that we have thrown away
a perfect
thing.
