red vinyl cushions are worn into shapes of the enormous bottoms
of those who've compressed them for years, hours at a time,
leaving lasting impressions, both artful and personal and
over time, increasing the distance from seating to table.

until it is time to disengage
and the red vinyl cushion
being fixed to the back of
two thighs now bonded
by sweat to consumer,
the seat  striking back...                
which                        
tore                          
not.                          
yet                          
lef­t                               .
it's painful impression ,
a concave impression of somebody's bottom..

Ouch!
