while sitting

chairs are antonymous to stools
and I am sitting on the latter

the former has a backbone
a ground to stand on
support and socorro

the mesh of flesh stitched together with pointillism blood spots
to lean back to relax is to find oneself clinching

nobody wants van gogh to paint them

chairs are caricatures of stools and stools are stern

austerity in stools is a stamp of honor; still standing
without the aid of a supernumerary appendages
for example, a back
