An American showed me his kitchen. He pointed to a drawer beside the stove.View quoted post on X
"That's the junk drawer."
I opened it. It contained three rubber bands, four batteries of unknown charge, a 2014 receipt from AutoZone, a single brass key to a door that does not exist, and half a roll of duct tape.
I asked what the sorting principle was.
He looked offended. "You don't sort it. You just put things in it."
"What things?"
"Things that aren't trash, but don't deserve a shelf."
Inside I said: THIS IS PURGATORY. THIS DRAWER IS WHERE HOUSEHOLD GOODS AWAIT REINCARNATION.
Two weeks later, my remote control died. I did not go to the store.
I walked to the drawer with my eyes closed, reached into the dark, and pulled out an AA battery.
It had 40 percent life remaining.
The drawer provides. The drawer requires no faith, only surrender.
