A Pinch of Gravity

Strolling across the smooth granite counter, I found a silver measuring spoon perched precariously over the rim of a ceramic sugar bowl. Naturally, walking straight across that narrow metal handle was an invitation I couldn't decline. I hopped onto the polished bowl of the spoon, feeling it tilt down under my weight until the handle levered up like an impromptu seesaw. Just when it threatened to slide, I shifted my heel back, locking the pivot with zero fuss. Peeking inside, the gleaming white crystals looked like an absolute dream.
