It takes
years to find perfect shoes.
When you are
young
someone else
picks your shoes out for you.
As you get
older you try many different types and brands.
Shoes come
and go often due to changes in styles or trends.
Fashion
prevails over practicality.
When you are
older you settle for comfortable shoes
Shoes that
support your feet.
Shoes that
make you feel good.
However, no
matter how comfortable
and no matter
how well you care for them
they
eventually wear out.
Left in the
closet, taken for granted.
Inevitably, you
feel the need to seek out new shoes,
to pursue
another pair,
a better fit,
more comfortable.
Another thing
I have noticed about shoes is that when poets
write about
shoes they are never talking about shoes.
Except that
one about the Old Lady who lived in a shoe.
I’m not
really sure about that one.
