Shoe Shopping

My connection to the ground
The vessels of routine
Branded for meaning making
Cue memories of people
Images bearing the weight
Of glory set apart
A viewpoint just for me
These people
In this place
At this point
Creation that sustains
Beyond tread wearing through
When I buy new shoes
No memories attach
Or opportunity
Surfing the west
Surfing the web
Browser-less window shopping
One click saved time
One trip saved meaning
Brands fall
People fail
Memories fade
I am, I Am.
In PM, I am.
In AM, I Am.
I think they’re forty?
Hmmm
