No Respect
No
Respect
by Mr.
S
I get no
respect
as you sit on
me
stand on
me
push me under
tables
the cushion you’ve put on
top of me
helps very
little
suffocates
me
and makes me
sneezy
to tell the
truth
you
constantly
force me back on two of my
legs
even though I am only sturdy on
four
I cradle you with
care
as you slouch in
me
ignoring the benefits
of my back
support
you once used me
to keep your little
sister
out of your
room
shoving me
up
under the
doorknob
mistreated like
a
common
criminal
pinned for your
purposes
I now wobble to the
left
in daily
dizziness
due to the
damage
you inflicted on
my left front
leg
when you once brought me down
hard and
heavy
on your brother’s
foot
I
am your chair
I am your
support
I am the one
neglected,
forgotten,
denied
dusting
I get no
respect
