THE UNIVERSE WITHOUT CHAIRS

THE UNIVERSE WITHOUT CHAIRS

three men sit upon the last chair in the world
some kind of Cerebus of laps

one man on a chair
the other two, the other’s chair

this universe, then another.
a chair that doesn’t exist

a wood-eating woman tells a joke
distracts the the chairs

in our bodies, the idea for chair
a rich purple drawn from the mucus of snails

the wood of chairs
what joke does she tell?
