Have a seat

 

Have a seat and fasten your seatbelt. The journey is about to begin. Through the shadows and twilight is where we are heading, no other map to use but the stars at sky. Past the Orion we go first but what horizons open after that, we do not know.
Cut the tree, arrange the benches around the stump and have a nice place for a picnic in the park.
You sit and wait for time to pass, and you smoke to make it pass sooner. But sooner you even realize, time has passed alright and there’s no more time left.
You buy a design chair for your spacious balcony. Then you ran out of money and move into smaller flat and put the chair on a smaller balcony shared with other apartments. Then you move again into even smaller flat where’s no balcony anywhere, and you leave the chair behind, and let others to puzzle what to do with the very unpractical chair.
You spend hours for grooming or being groomed. You wish to sense or to become sensed. Is that all there is?
You sit on a chair that simulate sitting. You pedal a device that simulates bicycling. You row another that simulates rowing. And so on, you do things on simulators to live longer. But don’t you think you miss the life while sitting?
So, you had enough of sitting. Or did not, but you lasted longer than your sofa.
