Staging a Poetry Sitting

I resent standing before you, for I AM A SITTER!
And as a sitter, I demand respect, I argue in my head as I navigate without grace for the empty barstool.
Sitting is an time honored tradition. Most conversation and some of the best debates have occurred while sitting. The most comfortable bus stops have seats where I sit to wait for the next seat.
I purchase seats on trains, planes, in theaters...
I've read that in some countries they have seats in telephone booths.
A lady always sits in the restroom. I can sit there or in the powder room,if I sit too long at the bar.
