“And their colors change depending on the light. At morning, spill out the jar of Office Mate Push Pins across your blotter in the morning sunlight. You’ll see a soothing, almost angelic pink on their tips, as friendly as a dog’s tongue licking your face. At noon, under the whitehot sun, spill them again, the pink nearly disappears, almost burnt off by the summer heat. You’ll think you’re looking at little white dots of looseleaf clipped from a pad of white paper, instead of the backs of sharp pins. Seeing them pushed into corkboards you wonder, how’d that pink get so pallid, like an old formal your former wife wore to her high school prom and for some unaccountable reason kept hung and wrapped on the back of her closet door for years. Miss Havisham anybody?
