Easy Chair

Today’s the first with new desk-chair in the place 

where the old beast used to be; it’s an endearing 

change as here no cushions are necessary - and 

adjustment-ease makes swearing non-obligatory; 

in th’ old days profanity was a necessity - usually 

with flamboyant originality one could rely upon to 

get the ball rollin’ - and thereto words would flow, 

hopefully growing into something we called verse 

But not so today as we’re in the lap of luxury - & I 

can suggest Riley had something to do with that - 

we’re impressed caring has left the nest on rustic 

wings in an arcane wrest of ‘effortless’ transition - 

presumedly to bigger, & potentially, better, things; 

and there’s its irony as so did the damned poesy
