i wonder

how many things

this chair

has been

to the people

who spent time in it

a comfort

a fort

a refuge

a tower

a snack bar

a hiding place

a favorite choice

a sick bed

a vantage point

an escape

a place to rest

a playscape

 held together by tape and hope

so many stories to tell

now the chair sits silently

who knows what’s next?

“bring out….. the comfy chair!!!”
