Is this a toy


or a very specific and practical tool?  Perhaps you never see but if it wasn't invented the simple would not function?  Ball bearings?  Makes me think of writing.  Without a pencil and its progeny, which  words would have gone unwritten.  Without a mirror, which masks, silent.  Think of the kitchen as a laboratory of invention.  Spoons, spatulas, strainers, saucepans.  Moving away from the beguiling "s" sounds -- can openers, mandolins, rice cooker, knives.  You get the point  No pun intended.

  1. The woods of her childhood hid much
    the water the bridge
    a sparkling

    don't even

    be former
    saddle stitch
    forced
    obdurate

    she spends the day alone
    reconsiders, revises, reads
    about root vegetables
