Peak Seating
My special place to read
is a chair by La-Z-Boy™
in the den by the fire
facing white French doors.
Beyond them is my yard
bird-feeders, bird-bath,
picket fence and windmill toy
with a sunset view.
It’s better than the porch
with its heat and cold and rain
and the neighbors walking dogs
to be greeted and acknowledged;
even better than my bed
soporific though it is
that leaves my eyes mismatched
from the right eye pillow-patched
and the left focused at
ten inches for print
and pin-holed for the light
‘til I fall asleep, drooling.
