The Barrel
No Room For Comfort
Off The Wall

One Scene Play
A Mother's Stand

The Barrel

By Gloria Cameron aka IB

In the corner of the bedroom stands a carton,
A cylinder that house a Christmas tree.
Assorted goods for trade, a seaman’s cargo,
Escaped its belly since it came to me

All the same you would not know it if you see it,
I dressed it up, and it looks very lovely,
In its fineries blue, beige Chintz Floral Cotton,
It stands taller than its height a mere four feet

One can see its head but then again not clearly,
For it’s carrying a middle picture tube
Like a native woman under her fruit basket,
Though she sets hers down sometimes to take a breathe,

It’s a cousin to the nightstand, and the rosewoods,
And therefore in the décor fixture family,
And this musky smelling, disguised cardboard
Has become one of the most important piece
