If a poet couldn’t use
a camera, this might well be how he would write.
The Uphigher’s Chair
A solitary seat – no nest
for two;
Having someone else up
there would spoil the view.
A highchair for
grown-ups,
Lookout, for the Lord
of the dust off white lines.
Judge and jury – hand
out fines.
Sitting duck for
assassins,
Discriminates against
paraplegics,
Can be electrified
during thunderstorms.
Seat of burning,
Lofty abode.
Highly unsuitable as a
commode.
