… or, “You Would Be Surprised How Much Difference It Makes”
Aeron, O Aeron
You are the Excalibur of chairs
Or so they say
So then why will you not stop
Rocking all the way back
So that everything I do
Is at a forty-five degree angle?
Well.
I found it.
I finally found
The lever
That commands you
To knock that shit off.
And the Sun and Moon became one
And the sky swallowed the darkness
And bluebirds alighted upon my shoulders
And started to belt out “Evenflow”
As if tomorrow were never coming.
My back felt
As if I had just returned to Earth
After a lifetime in outer space.
Plus, the girl who sits in the cubicle across from me
Probably thinks that I grew a foot and half
Since Monday.
