Such a beautiful armchair,
fit for a royal,
stately,
sitting in this velvet throne,
jaw set against the world,
eyes righteous.
From this regal center
you rail against
everything that affects your realm
of small suburbia,
ever moralising
from cigarettes to popes,
drowning everyone.

once, i saw a girl, unstiching the stars so they'd tumble from the sky and fall on her feet.
It's just banter
Musings from an introvert about art, compassionate cooking, words, and the powers of light and darkness within us...
Surrounding yourself with the things that make you happy is the way I choose to live!!!

Can a whole poem be made by one word? What about the absence of one word? To me, this poem becomes brilliant in the last line where you say, “drowning everyone” rather than “drowning out everyone”, as I might have said. The former is so evocative. It expands, rather than contracts the meaning and significance of the guy’s behavior.
Thanks for sharing this!

Good poem, packs a punch.
When one of my grandfathers would hear someone pontificating, he’d usually let them wheeze on a bit, and then would smile and declare “Thus Endeth the Lesson” — generally the soapbox speaker would get the message. Don’t think it would work nowadays, though.
