LET YOUR CHAIR DO THE TALKING
BAY OF SHOALS, KANGAROO ISLAND photo PHILIP WHITE

on being seated
once fussy about where I sat
the direction I faced seemed important
so having first moved the chair
to get it pointing right
I’d follow that up with further adjustment once down
it was a matter of what needed addressing
ruled by some cool subconsciousness
a flash shard of equations
the rapid sorting machinery
delivered a sweet calm empowerment
now I find it better
to leave the chair as it stood
take to it with keen interest in the angle it has chosen
get in there with a smoke and a drink
and scour what it offered me all along
I see a better range of stuff this way
