fork

Description

A fork is a metallic wand that mercilessly impales food on the table and silently supports the eater’s desires. Despite its elegant appearance, its tines are ever ready to end the life of a food morsel. It faithfully executes the three-step syllogism of impaling, extracting, and conveying, never to be thanked for its service. Cleaning and drying after use amount to the sole ritual in acknowledgment of its silent labor.
