Use leaves its mark most clearly where no one meant to leave one
The table is dark
except along the edge.
There,
the wood has gone lighter—
gently thinned，
by years of sleeves, wrists, elbows, waiting.
Someone sat here
with tea.
Someone sorted receipts.
Someone leaned forward to speak,
or simply for something else.
No inscription remains.
No initials cut in.
Only this softened strip
where repeated contact
has changed the surface.
That is how daily life writes itself:
not in grand marks,
but in the place
where the body keeps coming back.
