Experience is / The chair we sit on.
And the thoughts, having just had
The novel experience
Of having encountered this
Metaphor for the first time,
Are up and running away—
Straight-back, swivel, molded,
Adirondack, throne, rocker—
How many kinds of chairs are there
Whose nouns could be used to sum
Various categories
Of human experience?
Foolish, not even a game,
The mind playing at a game,
Seeing if it can make one.
