chair


by dog e relaford





i woke up this morning with a feeling of despair
it was time to get up and sit in my chair
and look out the window all day long
and scratch my knees and sing my song

i was once a pirate bold
an arctic explorer braving the cold
an adventurer with a hundred names
and a master of all tricks and games

an angel with a flaming sword
a barbarian who was never bored
a conqueror with a heart of steel
a condemned man eating a last meal

a dog waiting outside a door
an elephant wandering on the shore
of an ocean with a billion waves
washing over a trillion graves

of my enemies
in the cool breeze
in the endless deep
i go back to sleep

to wake in the morning with a feeling of despair
with my clothes piled neatly on my chair
and my shoes under my bed
in my head
