Blink

I wonder who we see when we blink
Someone waving at us from the curvature of our pupil
I wonder why it's hot when I itch my ear
And then it just gets more itchy
I wonder where the universe is in a universe of universes
And why we are here in the first place
I wonder why cutting my pointer finger on a slim piece of paper can
Hurt more than knocking my knee on solid wood
I wonder why houses smell like different things
Why monkeys have tails but we don't
Why the markings of black on white I can comprehend
Why my dog can go to sleep in three seconds
Why I see colors when
I blink
The universe swirls round
When
I blink
I wonder why
When my foot touches the ground I don't sink through the Earth
Down,
Down,
I wonder why
I blink
