A Gentle Slope

A thick art book was leaning against a stack of magazines, creating a smooth slope down to the rug. I paused to inspect the tilt. Right by my base lay a large wooden button. I gave it a steady nudge with my forehead. It rolled down the paper ramp with a soft whir, stopping right against me. I leaned back, balanced my base, and pushed it back to the top. Watching it glide along the exact same path felt wonderfully neat.
