Biscuits as a Centrepiece on a Conference Table
You can hardly stretch beyond half the width of the conference table unless you lay your body on the table and make a reach, like a tired secretary cavorting with her boss.
Yet, the biscuits are placed right at the centre of the table, out of the usual reach of the meeting participants.
It's like a gesture of fake friendliness, a rhetoric open invitation (if such a thing exists).
The biscuits, coated in their luscious cream and chocolate, sit safely, losing their crispness in the humid surroundings.
Like a centrepiece, it sits looking pretty, wiling not a bit under everyone's eyes but becoming less savoury with time.
