drawer · a small disorganised supply
most are silver; two are brassed; two have begun to rust at the bend. there is a stray rubber band, and one red thumbtack, and a small piece of graphite that has come from somewhere else.
you have used three this year. you may use four next year. the dish was meant for pencil shavings; the pencils have moved.
field-note: the rust is from the kitchen window's long winter. the dish was in the wrong room then.
