A bean bag chair

the universe is a hungry child who reaches for a cookie
which is a galaxy who waits nervously in the Dentist's chair
which is a solar system who pours a hot steaming cup of coffee
which is a planet who rakes leaves in the back yard
which is an ocean who pushes away from the table after an evening meal
which is a tide who scrapes paint off the weathered window trim
which is a mass of igneous rock who shops for new clothes down at the mall
which is a brisk wind who tells jokes throughout the haircut
which is a germ who surveys a disputed property line
which is an atom who carries our baggage to the hotel room
which is an ion who shovels dirt into your grave
which is really nothing but the flip side of something
which is the sound of coins jingling in your pocket
which is a glass of iced tea on a hot day
which is a 13 year old kid yawning in english class
which is a naked woman's sillouette against a drawn shade
which is a broken shingle flapping on the roof
which is the squeak from a rusty hinge on the back door
which is a cigarette lighter that won't produce a flame
which is a new improved brand of whitening tooth paste
which is a horse rearing up and throwing its inexperienced rider
which is an hornery old man in a rocking chair
which is a broken clock-radio in the neighbor's trash
which is a bean bag chair leaking beans all over my tidy floor
