1.
old
ordinary wood chair
worth no more than
5 dollars

2.
the only remains
of my favorite
maple tree

3.
thy roughly hewn bark
doth resteth mine weary
backside

4.
straight, uncomfortable
back
no cushion

5.
used
in every country
its bipartisan

6.
where you sat
when you got the bad
news

7.
like
it’s just a chair
like you know
a chair
