Read the following original poem, included here in full:
In the library's basement, the dehumidifier drones
like a bee trapped in a jar.
I open an atlas from 1954:
oceans spread like clean sheets
across the spine.
Upstairs, the students whisper into laptops,
their faces lit from below.
A notification pings—
a pebble flicked at glass—
and the map's neat borders blur
in the damp of my hands.
In context, what is the primary function of the contrast between "oceans spread like clean sheets" and "a pebble flicked at glass"?
