Are You Beached?

I looked into the bathtub the other day, and what did I see? A natural disaster. Poor little toy boats all huddled by the drain, bereft of their water, abandoned to an uncaring fate, left behind.

One glance and I knew exactly how they felt.

When you see some inanimate object that could not possibly have any feeling at all, do you have a poignant moment anyway? Do you think it’s a good thing, or a bad thing?
