Seating

I never know where a new client will sit.  Sometimes they ask, most often not.  These are often not small decisions.  Of course, sometimes they are.  I am never sure which ones count.  My rule of thumb is that clients need to sit somewhere. 

I never know where people will sit.
All the possible seats in my office
Have been occupied by clients
At one time
Or another.
Last time around I had a client
Who liked to sit
On the floor.
The question for me
Was
Do I sit on the floor
With him?
I didn*t.
People often choose their seats
In not so random ways.
Me?
I wait to see
Whether the seat is chosen
By whim
Or purpose.
Even then
I never know for sure.
