i just wrote and posted brown carpet.  read it before you go on.  here is what it is based on:

we’ve had brown shag for years, and then my mom replaced it with new carpet, shorter shag, white.  one night i came home and saw a little brown fiber from the old carpet.  for a second i thought, “it’s growing back!” but then realized that it couldn’t be growing back.

oh dear…i just realized that i’ll be posting two times today.  this is not good.
