Field guide No. 501
Amethyst seam through breakfast
A crystal seam, sliced thin.
A purple amethyst seam runs without a break through a granite rock, a loaf of bread, its slices and the wooden counter under them. Nobody has asked the bread knife what happened.
Field noteCrystal veins take ages to form in rock. This one formed through a loaf baked this morning and the worktop under it.
Also possible, also breaking material
A stitch in porcelainThread through china would need holes the needle can’t make. Stubborn, not contradictory.
Fermented files in green cabinetsPaper is pulp, flat and finished. These files have gone yeasty and risen out of the drawers.
Clean livingSoap can be cast in blocks and blocks can be stacked. Rain would file the objection.
Hush moneyPurses hold coin; this one holds velvet. Odd currency, perfectly constructible.
