SOFA TAKES A BOUGH~~WOW~~!!!
Even the slighest slight
Made the couch mad as hell
She ditched him
Yet she
Unable to fly
The upper reaches
felt wretched
just beyond her frayed ends
she harkened back
where did the end tables end up?
where?
The sheer weight of bearing down
one too many times
by posteriors too wide
for most venture capitalists
oink-oink
This cause-celeb
had caused her this torment
as she kept looking behind
her life once so inclined
this poor recliner
this davenport
this settee
this sofa
this couch
this love seat actually
sitting so pretty
in the altelier
by Montmarte
and Mulberry Street
the 80's scene
so lively
her once over
so quick to dismiss
she now resigned
she felt
doomed
to live a life she outlived
yet the old gal still got it
not that
anyone would ever think
fashionable her attire
She more than anything
wanted to tear down that stubborn wall
and start over again
suddenly
the scent of a distant forest
had broken through the wall
as the fir trees bent their boughs
to support her
in her just cause
just in case and because
someday
they would need her support
for now
they would all make a home here
