There will always be those who
Would ‘kill’ to be in another’s shoes.
And.
There will always be those who
Would ‘die’ to get out of those same shoes
These are the contractions,
The contradictions of the
Machine by which we are driven.
I.
For one, prefer bare feet-
Once so natural- now a veritable luxury, and worse,
I must wear the shoe
Ill fitting or not-
in order to take it off
