after_a_while
mon
of
not
wearing
shoes
after
weeks
of
not
wearing
shoes
after
a
month
of
wearing
shoes
only
twice
for
a
total
of
a
few
hours
and
only
so
i
could
attend
after
being
in
the
garden
in
the
late
afternoon
after
digging
the
potatoes
without
any
tools
after
dodging
the
pumpkins
running
rows
of
corn
picking
pumpkins
twisting
around
plants
after
walking
all
over
the
orchard
even
where
i
know
there
is
broken
glass
i
remember
how
all
my
life
i
have
loved
this
not
wearing
shoes
just
the
earth
and
skin
and
nothing
and
no
one
to
say
otherwise
and
i
remember
once
when
i
was
really
little
dropping
a
glass
bottle
from
the
second
floor
window
onto
the
cement
below
and
then
running
down
the
stairs
running
outside
walking
my
naked
feet
on
the
green
sharp
pieces
just
to
see
if
they
would
cut
and
how
they
didn't
and
how
i
thought
i
was
cool
cause
Jesus
could
walk
on
water
but
i
could
walk
on
glass
after
a
while
learning
that
indeed
glass
can
enter
into
the
flesh
after
a
while
of
not
having
a
bath
after
a
while
of
washing
my
feet
in
the
creek
after
a
while
i'll
put
on
some
shoes
dress
up
and
go
to
town
maybe
but
not
yet
not
till
the
summer
ends
