The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
For—put them side by side—
The one the other will contain
With ease—and You—beside—
The Brain is deeper than the sea—
For—hold them—Blue to Blue—
The one the other will absorb—
As Sponges—Buckets—do—
The Brain is just the weight of God—
For—Heft them—Pound for Pound—
And they will differ—if they do—
As Syllable from Sound—
Emily Dickinson, ‘The Brain is wider than the Sky’.

A household sponge is a cleaning product that absorbs liquids very well. The spaces between the fibers absorb water and prevent it from flowing back immediately. The water remains trapped inside the sponge until it is wrung out.
In the past, the dried remains of sponge animals were primarily used as sponges. Today, most household sponges are made of viscose. Vegetable sponges are also available. These so-called luffa sponges are made from dried cucurbits.

I don't know who collected this assortment of sponges but I was glad they left them strewn here on Sandspur Beach.
The Harbor soaks up a bunch of cars, while I do my best to not get soaked atop the Halsted Ave overpass.
