Some times something will catch my eye when I'm sitting around for whatever reason. Sometimes this happens in a place that I frequent enough that my head starts making studies of it. I phrase it like that because it usually takes several instances of fixation before it registers on some lasting conscious level. This particular situation sits directly across the room from me while I'm lying in bed. These two clothes hangers are hooked on some sort of rod attached to one of my closet doors. I think a lot about the way the are intertwined. I play around with them in my spatial imagination from across the room. I wonder if they can be separated without changing the flat plains they both lie in. How do they interact as physical bodies with the two unique anchor points they have. I think about how their shapes, combined with the changing point of contact on the rod, affect their center of balance and momentum direction in certain situations.

These little things never catch my attention for long at any one time, but they keep coming back. I never seem to want to test out any of these things. The answer isn't the fun part. The potential of these objects becomes the inherent value. They sit there. I'm satisfied with out an end product. I don't think many people are.
