Chair
I was standing next to a table and it disturbed me that I was
so alone and suddenly I heard a tapping extremely
faint to be sure but something was making itself known.
It was so subtle I had to kneel down, then I found the
chair and I touched the wood the way you touch a tongue, I
placed my finger in a grain, immediately twilight
fell and creatures were standing around us.
By now I was not much larger than a pinpoint and
internally intoxicated the chair was sending me its thoughts, somewhat
technically but followed by the rustling of trees before briefly,
for two or three seconds, I became a chair. It was blissful, blissful
that wood in my vertebrae! The tapping in my leg, a state of being
without blood or thoughts. And stand still for ever. And
raised. And always that function and an
inner swaying, derived from the trees.
