Why the Chair is Counter-Revolutionary

Another bourgeois decadent
amenity that presupposes
the individual in a pose:
the chair. An air of the complacent

even more than a pretension
of due process,
that dimension
of implausible innocence
according to a legal "once

upon a time." The occupations
aren't in need of litigation,
the state determines what is fair
and this is undermined by chairs.

They're counter-revolutionary,
time is marching on and some
are sitting down on the job, a problem
so we're banishing the chair.

Now a million empty chairs
are sitting in Siberia,
their arms control is barely there
and sitting is inferior.

It sends a signal which is wrong,
you should stand up for a song
of Lenin, he is everywhere
and Hegel has us by the hair.

Heroic workers never rest,
they stand in line. They're spoiled in the west
where people want a room of their own.
No wonder they are so alone.

Is alienation compensated
with an adjusted bucket seat?
Sitting down is so effete,
they put their feet up on the state,

so we've done away with chairs,
all but two, we're not eclectic.
One is for the party chairman
and the other is electric.
