furniture - the fleeting world; bubbles in a stream

Staying in a tent can be very relaxing

“And much I marvel now how men
Can waste their fleeting days in greed;
That one man should desire more gold
Than twenty men should truly need;
For is not this green tent more sweet
Than any chamber of the great?”

(H.W. Davies in The green tent)

February 10, 2022 It seems abstract

The kitchen where time slowly passes

“Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-lookin’
We sat in her kitchen while her mama was cookin’
Stared out the window to the stars high above
Time passes slowly when you’re searchin’ for love”

(Bob Dylan in Time passes slowly)

Looking for someone to sit down

“I stuck a pin into a chair,
To stick in someone sitting there;
And so well was it hid, the sight
Could not rest on its point so bright.”

(L. Lehmann in the song I stuck a pin into a chair)
Eindhoven (NL

November 30, 2021 What has been left

A chair that stands on two legs

“I sits on all four and I favours none —
Priest, nor People, nor Lords, nor Crown:
And I never tilts in my chair, my son,
And that is the reason it don’t break down.”

(R. Kipling in My father’s chair)

Nobody sittin’ on the bench waiting for a fight in the Fight Club

“And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.”

(Country Joe and the fish in Vietnam Song)
‘s Hertogenbosch (NL)
