poke at something

The last thing she needed right now was to have him poking at her all night.

He poked at the body for a moment and stood.

He poked at the paper on the table in front of him.

He takes every opportunity to poke at all of them.

As a child, he sometimes poked fun at his teachers, she said.

I turned from the window, went back to the fire, and poked at it.

She poked at the fire again, trying to get a little more light from the corner.

But if they're poking around at the site, I only count them once.

He was too perfect, so I had to poke at it.

All but one of them were poking at the bodies.
