#seat
Passing by the empty seats really make me believe That how people have connect to their old memories Where they have seated and talked about their past They can rest there but still walked through the time And the bench again have remained empty Seeing all the passer-by

Empty Seat
bed unmade days, kitchen cock-all-around-roaches email me thank you notes, cockaround gratingly grate full the dry cleaning unwrapped, the plastic sheets dust covered, can't recall why it matters at all any of it but she, no but she, now-gone pass by the bed, see the sign, "to let" on the toilet seat upright lie ever inwards onwards idiots who let little things come between, wishing there were ever still, noisy and so very between

the toilet seat is up
the whole intention of life is to get through it there is no instruction manual there is no easy way to explain it to someone you are conceived and you die your journey is not predetermined your voyage can be altered your trip around the sun is your own unique ordeal put your seat belt on and enjoy the ride...!

lost
Headphones plugged, My thoughts are rugged. Humming the song lyrics, I see the nature's classics. My consciousness fades away, In the direction of wind's way.

Journey
_Subway skip jive, Off and on, Up and over, Been and gone. Mind your wallet, Watch your step, Take your seat, Turn right, lean left. Token trav’lers, Quick, quick, slow, We’re underground, And on the go._

Subway Skip Jive
Ride this moment till the end, With your consciousness strapped behind a seat belt. Who knows the roads we will take, The views that we will see, And the stories we will make.

The Strapped Consciousness
I run to my ceramic throne, I feel it coming I groan. I take my seat, Try to **** To no avail, I feel terrible. I push more and more, My face red, my bum sore. One last push,one last try, A deep breath, a loud cry, "Who let the dogs out, woof woof, Out you come, you goof, Something dropped, It worked, Heard a large plop.

Constipation
I can be a really skeptical person, I don’t believe in ghost, and just think of weird things that happen as coincidences, But, as flower petals magically float down toward my passenger seat, just before I close my car door. I felt chills, as if memories from past lives rushed through my skin like electricity when you touch a Walmart cart. Instant, waiting for a reaction. And if that isn’t one hell of a metaphor, I don’t know what is.

Flower petals, slowly landed into my passenger seat.
Who do you think you are Your behavior I cannot ignore The way you act disgusts me You are rotten to your core Who do you think you are To say that I’m the one with an attitude You talk about me as if I’m not there I for one think you are quite rude Who do you think you are You’re not cool, but quite a bore How could you feel entitled To something you did not pay for Who do you think you are To try and dictate where I sit If you really owned where I placed my rear end I would see your name on it Who do you think you are To say I behave with no class You say I will never find love As if anyone would want to deal with your tired @$$ Who do you think you are To turn someone else’s blue sky dark If you ever told me to get up from where I sat I would pull a Rosa Parks Who do you think you are To say you’ll let my reactions slide You had better keep doing just that Try something and I’ll have your hide I think I ought to let you know I’m not like any other girl you’ve met If I were you I’d start shutting my mouth Because you do not know crazy yet

Who Do You Think You Are
I want the seat closest to the window. Boat, plane, bus, passenger seat Ma'am if you don't mind, could you please scoot down while I take my seat. My feet are tired. I have been standing on this concrete all day. Almost sleep on my feet, The same problems exist at the front of the bus just as the back. If you could see past me, you'd see. Yet you turn your nose and grab your purse. All I want is a seat to rest my feet. Lay my head back and dream. I don't want to wear your chains today. The chains used to justify what you see on the news. How you can't see anything past me. How you've wrapped me in chain from shoulder to feet. You don't try to hide your look, I can feel the heat on the back of my neck. How you pick and choose what you like, There is no difference between you nor I, Except color, Other than gender. You watch me from the corner of your eye while I take my seat. There once was a time when I'd have no choice but to sit in the back. Now that I take my seat in the front you move to the back A look of disgust across your face. Boat, plane, bus, passenger seat. Ma'am if you could, would you please scoot down While I take my seat. All I want is a seat beside the window without having to explain why I want to sit this close to the window

Window Seat (Ode To Langston Hughes)
I am on the edge of my seat, with excitement. Anticipation for new beginnings to anchor on earthly home. Energies rise tickling senses, as dark integrates into my light. As those who causing atrocities to humanity are rounded up and exposed. I am on the edge of my seat, with Intention. Focus to stand as avatar for new times that echo truth. Ready to forgive the dark ones to wish them farewell and move as co-creators peaceful. NO MORE lies and fake news will be tolerated. NO MORE inventions being held back from the world. NO MORE keeping secrets is acceptable NO MORE controlling us to be prisoners with invisible bars. NO MORE orchestrations that encourage hate. AND NO more abuse of our children will be tolerated. I am at the edge of my seat with optimism that WE the people will reclaim this planet. That WE will take back our power to live free out of matrex as decreed by God. I am on the edge of my seat. For it is time to align with love. Yes, tomorrow is here.

Edge Of Seat
Trying to tap telegrams On the back of my iphone In a faux leather seat In the back of my mothers car. Anyone will tell you I have a Knack For the contrary And there’s strangely no argument, Where I got it from. The seat belt sits uncomfortably across my throat, Stopping my words, A space formerly only occupied by her gaze, Though my future career may benefit, My current psyche does not.

Going to the toilet was a nightmare, I would hold my *** and poo for hours, For fear of sitting on the low toilet seat, It was pain and toil getting up. Now, a raised toilet over  two bricks, And a grab bar, Has made my life Shangrila, No more fear, No more anxiety, Just slip on the seat and RELAX, And do what you have to do.

Relax
Arched over time, a little rustic but never one to deny aching limbs a respite from life's moments. Just surveying when static, slowly the world gazes back. Words etched in time, long past mentioning's of love bound by initials for that moment was all but etching faded as time weathered past. He sat there, always talking but not a soul was near to hear his spoken verses, he would laugh like thunder echoing in the trees, then sombre. Behind this bench three cherry trees blossoming there beauty shower the surrounding with each stirring of breath the wind gave them. and he sits there smiling. It's been a while since the old man sat, but where three trees were, now a young one sits behind. A lonely woman sits flowers against it, blossom kisses her checks and she smiles.

The Old Park Bench Where He Sat
This is the only way it seems Each time I turn you on-this remote So close at hand but it isn't what I need Vague colors and shadows over the screen. In the end I'm stuck in this vortex, But I don't even know which way I should go, Broken down on a park bench Because you're such a hard person to ever know. I'm hung up on you, You're the TV, I press each button on the remote, You take me everywhere but still I'm lost, Remaining here in this seat without hope. An endless stream of shows, this is what I want, Yes, this is it I guess. I'm lost on you, I'll give myself nightmares just thinking of Never getting to be alone with just us two, Alone on some sofa-in my mind-holding you, Kissing your neck, then I find I have pillow In my mouth and I wake up in this stupid Waste of a wreck.

Pillows With You
This chair rigged me to the cross after my tophet This chair was clutching hell while serving heaven This chair was hemmed by apartheid Which felt younger than yesterday This seat was daubed for a height The apathy melted its own pipe When a spark of distrust shorts out our delicate circuits Utopian structure slewed right back out These chairs grew wild, imperfect, and infinitely nervous

The Small Black Flashbulb Memory
Save me a place at the table My little white flower That sways in the breeze. Please hold my seat if you're able I'll love you forever After all the wine from bottle flees. Set me a plate and I'll stay full My hunger endeavors Your warmth was always mine to be.

Empty Seat at Dinner
i wish that you'd wear your seatbelt because i want you and no one else i wish we were both sedated because then there would be no reason to say we couldnt make it and the car is empty now, and i can't seem to figure it out - because now my heart is in my throat because i don't remember a word that you spoke because the music skimmed the air and i hang on to every note - now the melody is diguised in those little lies while the love we shared slowly died... so, i wish that i didn't wear my seatbelt because now i want to be anyone but myself
