Furniture.

Inanimate objects, emotionless.

The occupy space

provide for occupation of space.

Upholstered, re-upholstered, polished, repaired, and made to look pretty.

Provides and accommodates.

Comforting.

Expected to be ambitionless.

Used and abused, dusted and preserved, largely speechless.

Shrieks when damaged, only to be repaired.

Upholstered, re-upholstered, polished, repaired, and made to look pretty.

I feel like furniture these days.
