My bad,
For some reason I kept reading sit as transitive: entombed in amber, I sit her on the shelf.

I suppose it is because I am always expecting something to happen.

Yes, those fossils don't do very much. Do those two lines read any better edited (i.e., who is in amber in the one line and less legalese in the other)? You know that I always leap into action upon your advice.

You misunderstand. The only reason the amber absurdity existed for me in the first place was because I somehow was switching 'her' with 'on'. That being said, the sentence is strange and awkward. I feels like an inversion, but it's not, because if it was corrected it would sound like the shelf is entombed in amber. It's just weird, awkward, tortured phrasing with 'am' eliminated as if it were some lowly article or prep.

How about:

Entombed in amber,
I am sitting on a shelf

No. Someone sits on a shelf. He is, or I am, or we are entombed in amber. Be be be. Be and do and be and do
