By Rashmi Shivni
I am round and precise. I support the illusion. I am logical, but fake— The hands of a child, short and rude, pointing outward. A sleek, mahogany wood. I gaze from my safe haven. The day breaks through the window each morning, And trades places with the moon and stars of the night.
