A boy with blue eyes once told me

To wash my hands.

He told me soap and hot water

Would make me beautiful.

A girl with brown eyes once asked me

To join her in the garden,

Where we dug for worms,

And planted flowers.

I told her to wait,

To let me wash my hands.

She told me that the dirt under my fingernails

Is my best feature.
