In high school,
I was a silver monster
with a big mouth
in an old, grey chair
with metal legs,
and in college,
I was a two headed man,
the sad head having
a perfectly good arm,
and wearing a top hat,
and the happy head,
with the mangled arm,
had a broken nose,
and I sat on wicker,
so on the job,
on the torn vinyl
of a kitchen chair,
my head was exploding
as my face melted
and blood poured out
of the wound,
so now,
I am a happy, green alien
with a yellow smile
on my face,
so such is life
as a ceramic object,
sitting in a chair.
