simple things

i want to know the simple things.

when your alarm goes off in the morning
does your hand connect with
the snooze button at least four times?
or are you strictly an anti-snooze button individual?

do you even set your alarm?

when you wash your hair,
do you snap shut the caps
of shampoo and conditioner bottles
immediately after using each?

do you wait until end?

or do you simply leave them up
for easier access the next time?

i want to know the history
for every scar upon your body.

count your freckles
and connect the dots.

commit to memory your curves
so that i may travel
the length of your body in my mind
when we are hundres of miles away.

simple things. trivial, even.
simple yet hard to learn
without you knowing
how i feel.
