Admiration for The Chair

Amazing is your previously soaked cane that now glistens with a variable patina of gold.

Crisp looking, yet pliable you hold the weight of a strong back and heavy buttocks of soft skin that despite clothing, can seep, just a bit, through your sieve.

Your Cattail sieve onto where sand swallows once lit, casts a trampoline weave that wears a halo where its shadows on the floor are seen.

You claim a modest, yet handsome presence.

Commanding love are your smooth sexy arms with supporting teak elbows.

Your sleek legs, allow airflow and elevates the impressing and expressing seat from ground.

You warm cold corners and soften room angles.

Delicately smooth, your soft support yet sturdy stance wears character.

Nineteen Forty-nine armchair, you are "The Chair."
designed by Hans Jørgen Wegner (Danish 1914-2007)
place: The Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago
