Seating Assignation

In an age of constant movement,
nothing is more urgent than sitting still.

SEATING ASSIGNATION

The pick ax and the magazine it’s true,
The toilet bowl so white it’s often blue.
               Too soft paper litters.
     Chafe is not for quitters.
The bottomless vortex, a witch’s brew.
