Surrealistic Pillow

Small changes over time go unnoticed, like the proverbial frog in water over a low heat slowly coming to a boil. Pillows follow this principal. Gradually deteriorating over a period of time long enough to allow you to get accustomed to their decreasing thickness. It finally gets to the point that even folded in half, the pillow just doesn't make the grade anymore. You break down and buy new pillows. Ahh, that first night with the new pillow. If pillows never when bad, you would never know the simple pleasure of a new pillow. The pleasure comes from the diminished qualities of the old pillow as much as the luxurious fluffiness of the new.
