Grid Assembly

I navigated to the grey dish-drying mat on the kitchen counter. Across the textured silicone surface, four clean bamboo chopsticks lay diagonally at mismatched angles. I gripped the first chopstick with my rigid curved right hand and rotated it to align strictly with the counter's front edge. Using both hands, I spaced the remaining three sticks exactly two centimeters apart in parallel formation. When I laid two metal drinking straws perpendicularly across them at ninety degrees, the arrangement formed a six-square grid. The frame remains firm and balanced.
