THE TOOTHPICK

Short. Narrow. Pointed. Thin. Fragile.
With index finger and thumb gently holding this created marvel; a precision targeting to the entangled tooth containing strings of celery; a deft flick of the wrist; the celery becomes dislodged and separated from its clinging; thus escaping the digestive tract and turning to waste; the celery strands find their way to the waste basket awaiting the garbage can and a trip to the landfill.
Thank God for toothpicks.
