drawer · five pencils, one broken
yellow, green, red, blue, yellow. the second yellow is broken to about a third of its length; the eraser end is somewhere else. you have not bought pencils for years.
they are sharpened by hand, when sharpened. the shavings used to live in a small dish; the dish is now used for paperclips.
field-note: graphite on the inside corner of the drawer, a long thumbprint, not yours.
