Furnished

Phil Hall in “The Chase” in Conjugation (Book Thug 2016) provides an infinitive that may mistakenly be read as an imperative.

To not let poetry be furniture

Which the Magic 8 folks at CBC read as a rallying cry.

Less like a divan and more like a stool that can be relied on when milking a cow.

More like a kitchen chair upon which you sat getting a haircut.

A bed, a futon, a hammock.

And so for day 1728
