One in the Chair, One on his Feet, and Two in the Trash
By James Tarte
One in the chair, One on his Feet, and Two in the Trash
Stuck in a room surrounded by ash.
The one in the chair
He should just stand.
Just push himself up
Because he can.
Or don’t stand
Wait like the two in the trash
Stuck in a room
Surrounded by ash.
The one on his feet
He should just sit.
Just fall down
Lean back and commit.
Or don’t sit
Wait like the two in the trash
Stuck in a room
Surrounded by ash.
The two in the trash
Say goodbye.
There is no option
Except to die.
Stuck in a room surrounded by ash
Hamm and Clov leave the two in the trash.
