Â
The Chair Farmer
(Gavin Munro)
Gavin used to make chairs in the city:
big chairs
medium chairs and
teeny-tiny chairs
He crafted them
in a shed behind his house
It took a long time for the tree to grow
it took a long time for the wood to season
it took a long time for Gavin to work his magic
it took a long time to grow a chair
Now Gavin makes chairs in the country
They take a long time to grow
so he shapes them as they grow
bending arms, shaping legs
building backs
strengthening seats.
Gavin farms chairs.
