Some events happen in slow motion; dry Gatorade powder falling from the top of a refrigerator does not. One appreciates the full thrust of 9.82 meters per second square as the canister slips just out of your reach onto the floor. At this point, a cloud of dust (orange in this case) will rise like a summer storm enveloping your kitchen space only to fall gingerly, slowly, encompassing regions you never even considered with a grainy powder. It's worse than glitter.

There is wine on my kitchen ceiling. Don't ask.
