we are looking down onto a round kitchen table from the top. the table has water stains and a few other items toward the back and back edge. in the center of the table is a glass vase of daffodils. some are much shorter than others. in the right bottom corner we see a pair of kitchen scissors slightly open, cut bottoms of stems slightly to the left scissors. we are meant to infer that the shorter daffodils have just been trimmed.
