A small metal ruler that made the desk more honest.

It cost less than the object I bought to organize the objects I was not using.
The purchase was a thirty-centimetre metal ruler. It is ordinary, slightly cold, and always in the wrong place. I bought it to measure a page and now use it to align photographs, open stubborn packaging, and make decisions about margins.
It was worth buying because it does one thing without asking to become part of my identity. The object has no story until it is used.
A website is a small world with a very particular entrance.
It is a seat, a side table, and a small argument for objects that can change jobs.
A drawing, room, sentence or object whose destination arrives late.
