For want of a comfy chair

What follows is an old picture I took and the poem I wrote about it.


For want of a comfy chair in the corner of the room, this will have to do.
100 bad first dates with one finally going well, for want of a comfy chair this will have to do.
One exhausting prom night, for want of comfy chair this will have to do.
895 days of saving wages of a 9-5 job for want of a comfy chair this will have to do.
1000 dollar jewelry and a million nerves for want of a comfy chair this will have to do.
10 days on a Hawaii honeymoon sunburnt ass and for lack of a comfy chair this will have to do.
5 years 4 love handles an untold amount if dirty diapers and the sagging depression that follows both for lack of a comforting feeling this chair will have to do. 
3 jack and cokes 2 glasses of champagne and one unsatisfying night with a coworker, for lack o a conscience this chair will have to do.
1 divorce hearing untold legal bills and  everything including the chair in a uhaul going to a house I am not allowed to visit, for lack of a chair a bullet will have to do.
