One, sweats arguments

To win the debate

While poetry is bled, from interstices of vulnerability

To bridge the common terrain of humanity

Furniture, these inanimate objects

Placeholders of lives

Occupy a rather mundane role

In our existence

While everything else is zooming away

The showcase, the almirah

Starts being a reference node

Transforms into repository of memories

Denoting eras, of times passed by

Furniture, which is more than a brand

As memories can’t be procured at an IKEA store
