Every house has one drawer that answers to no organizational system. Mine contains, among other things, three unmatched batteries, a hotel key card from a hotel I cannot name, and a rabbit’s foot of uncertain provenance.
The junk drawer is not clutter. It is a portfolio of things that might be useful someday, diversified across every category of maybe.
The audit
- Batteries (3, allegiance unknown)
- Hotel key card, origin lost to time
- Rabbit’s foot, provenance dubious
- Twist ties (14), loyal and useless
- A single die showing six, frozen mid-brag
A full audit, item by item, including the twist ending where one of the batteries turns out to be good.
