Art in a Chair

(a poem written after the earlier post titled Art versus Life which discussed the use of chairs in the modernist artwork of George Brecht)

To create some art everyday

One could make a daily resolution to:

Draw a one-minute sketch a day

Jazz up an old tune on the guitar

Write a poem (like now)

Or
I could sit in a chair

and do any of the following:

Eat a bowl of ramen in Tokyo

Write a Vietnam law reform report

Call mom about her back pain

Tell someone a happy story
Listen to the friend beside me

Recount a sad thing
Pray
Or, fall in love with you
In front of me

And live Life, as Art
All in a chair.
