A table

Upon me, I have seen so many things come and go,
from my creation to my extinction.

I’ve seen plates come and go,
I’ve seen tempers flare,
I’ve seen asses come and go,
I’ve seen centuries pass.

I’ve seen hands come and go,
I’ve seen wings take flight,
I’ve seen declarations made,
I’ve seen people part ways.
