within every hour,
sooner or later,
sooner or later,
or for some time already,
we will find ourselves
in the same shoes, one
against the faceless
many who conjure
corporate legalese
that secures them
a place at the table –
in the board room,
we are all little men,
forgetting
and unforgetting
we do this to ourselves

sunday walks across
sunday walks across
the ceiling in sequined
shoes, size two, with
the regular irregularity
of a juvenile dog’s pitter-
patter trailing from
not far behind her.
i am barely awake,
listening for a
toddler-sized tumble

on occasion, practice
on occasion, practice
walking in someone

change
perspectives – this

fortune favors those
fortune favors those
who allow their perspectives
to shift accordingly –
there are those who own no shoes,
then there are those with no feet

there is so much
there is so much
promise in the
simple readiness
of a pair of
shoes, primed
for confidence,
aged for
comfort. in
between the steps
we take and
the steps we
avert, there is
unswerving
allegiance in
every landing

sometimes, start
sometimes, start
with the shoes – if you
like what you see
down there, chances
are, there may
be less of a
need for
improvement
on your way up

he comes in as
he comes in as
politely as
unexpected
he always takes
off his shoes
before entering
he arms himself with
the oldest knock
in the world
he understands
the word no
with comfortless
clarity, and
after all these years
he still dulls
the pain
with two shots
of salvation before
falling asleep
with his shoes on
