With ratching legs
Persuing history
I sit and and drink
THIS IS IT
With my drink I write
As my chair watches
Without judgement
Mute and one
With something meaningful
Above all else
ETERNAL
It knows
It's costume
And desguise
Will be here
Long after I'm gone.
Play that again Chopin
I appreciate existential pieces and the last line takes it somewhere else again - great stuff

yeah i like it too :-)
Might blog my old one or two about chairs. Seems to be a theme going on here.x
I love this. Its uncanny how many pieces i have read at work and elsewhere inspired by the ever ready chair at the moment. Although a student did actually write something about a chair murdering his owner so they could sit together forever...so...
Love the last line. good poem.

I really like the somewhat surreal and very definite existential nature of this poem.
Very Satre ala Nausea.
The poem stood out at Guitar and Verse- one of if not the best poem of the night.
My Best
