The Chair

 

point to a chair, unravel a squared piece of paper, remember southern blackness. uncage linen, examine masks, more of times, more ashamed. so remiss in its kitchen, a psychiatrist is cooking, emotions are thawed, penalty is sewn, a sickle to disorder. a resilient linchpin, it’s tested, resistance shows anomaly, we’d suppose, normality, in chills made fire, never a clue to penmanship. calligraphy eyes, a soul pressured, a cave where he sits, a chair is sturdy. a bit of humor, a psychologist is smarter, a therapist is learning pain. sky vacuums or variegated colors, Larry just got a vasectomy. maybe for pleasure. it’s reversible. maybe she asked. back to my chair, absorbing my heat, securing my discomfort. as never smarter than tables, as never so much gumption, as never a surface for writing. a table sees action, a chair sees butts, smells, rewashed garments. water runs into silence, a naked body enters vulnerability, sipping wine, packing a bowl, inhaling gently, coughing up smoke, giggling for some reason.
