I went for a walk and was driven by impulse to collect five sticks. They had to be as straight as possible. They had to be balanced as close to the middle as possible. They had to be the same length without me breaking them. They had to have been from different trees. They had to have fallen more than a year prior. When I got home, I lay them in a row, asked my question, and, one by one, broke them in half.
