An Ode to the Pittsburgh Parking Chair

John Chamberlin

The Pittsburgh Parking Chair

Behold the chair.
Not for comfy sitting.
But for standing guard!

Originally its duties were for comfy sitting on porches or in kitchens.
Plastic. Metal Questionably sturdy.

Now it appears after the shoveling is done
and stands like Jack Lambert, guarding the hard work.

Some call it territorial.
Pittsburgh calls it tradition or lure.
It is an unwritten winter treaty that stands the test of time.

Move it if you dare.
But know this:
Like the trashing of the Terrible Towel,
The Parking Chair remembers, YaJagoff.

Shout out to Tracy in West View for the pics!
