Part 1
Rectangular tables are an efficient use
for maximizing space within the room where
there can only be so many chairs
Why is it that sitting alone is the hardest
Thing to do, solitude can be so beneficial
when there is only one chair
Round tables use more space, yet no matter
where you sit, you are on the same level
With the person in the next chair
At the breakfast table, I go fetch my phone
Because you asked for my schedule which
we review when I sit back in my chair
The conversation will go around and round
The square meal when the whole family
Sits together in each their own chair
Take a walk to Henry's place, he will
Welcome your visit, and he will bring out
for you to sit on, one of his chairs
Part 2
Without tone or body language it is
Just the words that are shared with the app
That you use while sitting in your chair
Emojis and photos are added to provide the
Thousand words left out inconveniently
By you sitting impatiently in your chair
The party game is now online, of course,
And when the music stops, who is the one
Left out when they don't find a chair
The rain continues after dark as the storm
forecast comes true, water runs down the gutter
Filling the background while I sit writing in my chair
I ponder at what age will the youth need a smart device
to get by in this digital world while you
increase your device time sitting in your chair
What is more authentic, the auto-generated chat
Text, or me reaching across the table, to hold your hand
While I sit patiently in my chair
