Barefoot
This morning at Vacation Bible School
8 year old Jacob
interrupted
50 year old Ms. Julie.
Jacob said:
“I think it’s crazy that there are shoes that cost more than a dog.”
Ms. Julie said:
“Well, I guess shoes last longer.”
And continued on with the story.
And tonight in my studio apartment
all my 23 year old self wants to say is:
“Give me a yard full of life, and I will happily walk barefoot.”

smart poem.
“life usually just gives us a couple feet of real space, we’re lucky if there’s grass. a cheap shoe will usually suffice.” – commentary as a found poem.
