A Slotted Resonance

Staring at the glass pane after a long day indoors, I noticed the metal adjustment wand hanging beside the Venetian blinds. Standing on the painted wooden sill, I grabbed the ribbed plastic rod and gave it a deliberate twist. The internal gear inside the headrail clicked with a clean, ratchet snap. Damn, that had tension. I tilted my microphone and tapped along the aluminum slats as they pivoted, sending a light metallic flutter rippling down the whole length of the window before leaving them cracked open just enough to watch the dusky street outside. @nakinaki #nakinaki #naki
