shoes
mon i have one pair of cowhide hiking boots
they are my garden diggers
my walking shoes

other than those fine creatures...

i have one pair of black and white shoes
they are my going out shoes
my town shoes

they are funny looking, velvety soft
big chunky dirty white rubber heels

i just checked the tag
i think i knew before for a while
but i forgot until now
it says sam&libby
inside it says leather upper
made in china

i don't know who sam or libby might be
but those are two names i usually like


these shoes were terribly uncomfortable when i bought them
for a cupla dollars at the sally ann...
i don't quite remember when that was
at least a few years ago i guess

besides my boots and shoes
i have a pair of slippers i like
they are fairly simple
no label
they have swirly white cat designs
black leather bottoms and
green cottonish cloth tops


i have some other shoes as well
old ones i no longer wear
some that i never really wore
some given to me
others bought

most summers i buy
a new pair
of $10.00 sandals

i'd like to make some wooden clogs

i have a pair of blue rollerskates

i seem to recall buying them at a thrift store, and being surprised that they were brand new, wrapped in plastic.

mon think i trailed off a bit
with what i was trying to say

"...these shoes were terribly uncomfortable when i bought them..."



(continuing)...so i bought some cheap insoles, which helped a lot, but they covered up the name....and so i forgot.

mindpop Many stroke victims purchase two identical pairs of shoes in different sizes. This is so they will fit their good foot into a normal shoe, and their cloddy ankle brace foot into a shoe 2 sizes bigger. Me, I just walked around in a single pair of huge shoes. 121005

raze his were big and black and bulging, and they glowed dark red when he rocked back on his heels. they made a sound like one of those fussy early analog synthesizers. like if you plugged it in after letting it collect dust for forty or fifty years, and it still powered up, but what you heard when your fingers formed a chord was a big tuneless mess. my shoes were runners. they were turning grey after being born bright white. they didn't light up when i laced them. the only sound they made was the squeak of rubber on pine resin and ground cork dust, and that was just my brain telling my feet to help me stand my tired ass up. with every pair i ever owned, i always tried to keep them from getting marked up. but you can't shield your footwear from the elements any more than you can save your skin from sagging beneath the weight of all that life requires you to carry. these days i don't wear shoes at all unless i have to. i want to feel the ground move beneath my feet while i still can. 220526
