Sturdy legs that
take me no places
Top that is
a study in mess
Leftovers left
over and under
Forgotten bookmarks
waiting to start over
Repast of past
chewed till sour
Distant cud
ruminated over
Straight-backed chair
a company indifferent
I was once, a table
tidy and stable
Now a pile
of chaos and clutter
A metaphor befitting
yet misplaced
Not unlike a mind
rid of intent
Useful as much
as inconvenient.
