Furniture

There are people who see others
as merely furniture.
They move from room to room
deciding
whom to re-upholster,
whom to replace,
who no longer serves a purpose,
clashes with the décor
or just isn’t comfortable anymore.
Perhaps,
there is a favorite chair
a well-lit desk,
or a warm bed,
but they curse it just the same
when they bump into it
stumbling in the dark.
