Old English root: From Old English stapol, meaning a post, pillar, or foundation. Germanic origin: Rooted in Proto-Germanic *stapulaz ("stem")
It's interesting that staple connotes something vital/ foundational (like staple crop) and also something additional or supplementary, a suture or afterthought
Magnificent poems, auspicious collection! I am staring at my old black Swingline stapler now, waiting for inspiration.

Linda Gregg, sigh!
Wow! Inspired a brief cento...
Springs - shake the Sills -
that was the mikado’s favorite cup got broken
Clouds drew themselves
the cup with the saucer. Skeleton
I thought, and stay
realm of apple-blossoms
