Defamiliarization removes the film of familiarity so we see things anew.

2. **Extreme close-up:** Focus on overlooked details
3. **Etymology:** Use words original meanings
4. **Displacement:** Place the object in unexpected context
5. **Slow motion:** Extend moments usually passed over
6. **Naming refusal:** Describe without naming the thing

Draft a poem that makes this familiar thing strange again.
