there is nothing more perfect in this world than a strip of number four staples
shining and ordered, geometrical and symmetrical
hinting of infinity
the very image of the logos that in the beginning was with
and was
but staples have sharp points
are easily placed in the mouth
can be swallowed where they will lodge in the throat
and must be kept out of the reach of children
