What's on the desk
Nothing arrives by accident. The lamp gets lit, the drawer gets opened, and whatever comes out has usually been waiting a while for its turn.
Spines cracked in all the wrong places. Bought faster than they are read, which is the correct ratio.
Mechanical, unhurried, occasionally loaded. It remembers light better than anyone in the room.
A screwdriver, a soldering iron, and the firm belief that most broken things are only sulking.
Arrived uninvited. Stayed anyway. Has strong opinions and shares none of them.
The reason the lamp stays on late. Everything else on this desk is a hobby.
Two of them, both amber, both older than they look. They decide when the evening starts.
Marginalia
Take it apart before you decide it's finished. You will almost always find one more screw than the diagram promised.
A quiet hour is worth three loud ones. Guard it like it costs something, because it does.
Keep the thing that has no use. That is usually the one you'll want in ten years.
