The paper is exactly where it was this morning. The letter, the form, the thing from school with a date on it. You saw it four or five times today — on the counter at coffee, under the bread at midday, moved to the end of the table where things go to be dealt with later — and each time, in under a second, you weighed what it would take against what you had and moved on.
The word people use on themselves at this hour is lazy. It is the wrong word. That letter has no edges: you cannot tell whether twenty minutes would finish it or open something you then have to sit in. Things with no edges lose all day to things with a shape. The dishes have a shape. Even scrolling has a shape.
This evening episode asks for nothing from the counter. It points out one thing instead — that the paper is smaller tonight than it was this morning, and that nobody touched it. Four and a half minutes to put the day down.
