ideas.
when you want to change the color of your shoes
but don’t have a job

even though you have a lot of energy
you find your own way to get those turquoise shoes.

to tie his companion’s shoe
and in this tiny moment
revealed his heart.

two shoes.
and what was just one shoe
perched up high
has now grown to two shoes
overnight.
the only thing missing is the wearer
hopefully not sitting
perched here
tomorrow morning.

sits one tiny shoe.
