Ode to Our Everyday Objects

Oh how we love our every day objects

Toothbrush

Keys

Straws

Spoons

Plates

Perfect mug for coffee

Perfect mug for tea

Blankets

Chair

Such a relief when the right object is there!

Familiarity and contentment

Satisfaction when I remember to bring the right straw

Long and bendy

Maybe the good dishes are my everyday dishes

Such annoyance when someone

Moves my object and doesn’t put it back where it belongs

Frustration when they don’t wash out the stains

Or put my blanket in the dryer

Every straw is not my everyday straw

Every mug is not my everyday mug

Every chair is not my everyday chair

My everyday object is specific

And mine

And loved.
