new furniture

always has such a distinctive smell.
especially leather. ever noticed it?
like a dust layer, it settles,
a portion of commercialized industry
in your living room,
standing quietly alone,
or making a broad statement.
the new texture, length, style -
all takes time to become accostumed to.
not the same as the old,
not love worn, or stained
but fresh, reeking of the factory,
and new,
and exhilarating.
new furniture,
it is.
