They’re Turning Us Into Chairs

By Richard MacNeill

Chairs have a purpose

but if we become chairs

we will have no purpose

To stand or lounge

on the ground where we came from

to walk or run or swim

they found a way to combat our whim

by tethering us to screens

as if without them we could not breathe

We certainly cannot think with them

but their point is not-thinking

This “they” is made of many theys

it’s unintentional and intentional

By Richard MacNeill
