A calming circular wave 
spreading from the center of a pond
the restless self rested and alert
rejuvenated.
Dawn read Ruth’s birthday list
Better quality nail clippers
and began bringing together all of hers
she found the Tweezerman which had been missing several months
she recovered the Henckels bought in Switzerland years ago
by the end of day she’d researched preferences and pitfalls
Germany and Japan
and surprised herself on Amazon
in a flash sale 
a pebble tossed into the pond
a reasonably-priced clipper from China
We’ll see she says 
it’s one everyone loves.
