Me in my big white Reeboks,
A gift.
Instead of happiness,
I feel guilty for so many things.
This is my vice.
They're dirty,
Changing brown for former white.
A little like cream in coffee.
But those words are too nice.
Sole and souls
Walking on the ground
This Earth
The sidewalks
Made dirty
Instead of cleaning these dirty shoes
I want to step back in my black boots
Worn in, quietly trodden souls
Comfortable to me
And better hidden from the dirt
The grime
Yet somehow I walk a little taller
A little different
in these noisy shoes
Better or worse?
My shoes
Me and my shoes
Pondering the soul of soles
A gift.
Instead of happiness,
I feel guilty for so many things.
This is my vice.
They're dirty,
Changing brown for former white.
A little like cream in coffee.
But those words are too nice.

Pondering the soul of soles
