Belongings on one chair,
body on another,
arm stretched
across a third,
where a woman
inconveniently
takes up the seat,
looking uncomfortable
and trying
to be as small
as possible.    

Watching this,
one can imagine
the man
as an oversized balloon
squeezing itself
into every crevice
until a woman
comes along
with a brooch
and pricks it,
watching it woosh
upwards,
away.
