If this ain’t cozy….
Empty chairs in empty rooms. They’re like batteries waiting to be charged.
Something will happen here. Something will happen, but you don’t know what. Something will happen, but you don’t know when. But you don’t know who, and you damned sure don’t know why. But something will happen—once people sit in those chairs, once the batteries are full up.
Empty chairs are charged with potential. It doesn’t matter how that potential is spent—by talking, by resting, by reading, by eating. The moment a bottom comes in contact with a seat, the potential begins to be released. When the potential is extinguished—when the talking is over, when the resting is done, when the book is closed, when the food is finished—the chair is vacated.
The goal of an empty chair is to become empty again.
