Sofa Talk

I elicit rebuke
it’s not even a fluke
I tire and I bore-nothing new here in store
I feel pain
like the rain 
but the drain is arcane
I flip and flop
I start and I stop
I rip and I tear
but still get no stare
from that goose of man
the one that ran…out 
leaving me here all sour and kraut
I know that it’s true
that being so blue is like wearing one shoe
uneven and odd
in a growing bod

Tis no way to be!
please help me to flee 
out of my mind 
and stop falling behind

…the sofa
