There is this bed. It has age and dents from where the sleepers lay.
It has comfort, but it does cause aches and pains. One place too much has its disadvantages.
There is this couch. It has age and dents from where the sitters sit.
It is now hard to sit there for long. It hurts the butt and legs and back. But still, they sit.
Time passes. Cyrosis sets in like frost in an old freezer. Nurses come, go. Prescriptions arrive at the door. The dents simply grow until there is nothing to fill them.
