Falling Through a Chair Without Pants

I know why
this chair holds me up,
keeps me from falling through
its tattered corduroy and wood and foam,
just as I know why
I need pants to go outside.

But once, just once,
I'd like to fall between the fabric,
into the space between things
and customs and what should be,
a naked, descending angel,
and be free.
