It's a mountain by now. Plate upon plate upon bowl, stacked higher than physics should allow, all stained a slightly different colour of neglect. Cutlery balance on the rim of ***** mugs that sour the air around them. I feel guilty when I add to their misshapen brethren, commit another utensil to its graveyard. And yet still,   I watch it build and I wait,         morbidly, for it      to come crashing down.
