Green chair by Angel Ortega A greener chair sitting on the Green grass Is an open invitation Not to sit on, but to wonder about Who sat there when? When Was it placed there? Not exactly What for? because Obviously it was placed there by someone for someone to sit on. Maybe it was placed there to provide A resting spot for the accidental Passer-by. Why Was it colored green rather than purple or blue like the absent sea or appropriately white? For white is the color of cleanliness and the unpolluted page? The other day while walking by I noticed for the first time the chair And wondered about the past of the spot without it. Of course the trees and the green grass Are the natives of this spot, the aborigines of this piece of land But the chair I wonder what’s the chair? A foreigner? A migrant? An immigrant?
