scoops

I used to col­lect laun­dry mea­sur­ing scoops back when I was a kid. 

Some­thing about their translu­cent plas­tics and pleas­ant ol­fac­to­ry essence ap­pealed to my hoard­ing instinct. 

My col­lec­tion even­tu­al­ly melt­ed in the Great Dish­wash­er Up­heaval of 1992.

I chose the Pots and Pans set­ting with a long dry time. 

The idea of plas­tic items re­turn­ing to their pri­mor­dial oily ori­gins was my first true bout with fatalism. 

Every­thing I own is plas­tic puddle. 

Then the ques­tion arose, “Am I a mold too?”

I should have col­lect­ed rocks.
