Paper Clips

I have a lovely glass jar of paper clips sitting before me. Metallic colors. Jumbo size. Bert, of the infamous Ernie and Bert duo, had a paper clip collection. As with all ordinary things, paper clips can appear to you as marvelous objects when you apply your imagination. They can even be instruments of change. Just one red paper clip, in fact, can change a person's life.

Study a paper clip like you've never seen it before. What new association can you make?
