Shoes

[charisma]

We can slip on the threadbare soles
of our ancestors

and slip them off again, just as easy.

We are not
(despite the feeling
of the bit at our mouths,
the crop at our flanks)

horses.

These shoes are neither lucky,
nor nailed to our feet.

I think it has potential.

Mmmmmm. Yes!

Personally...I like it. Good thought to chew on.
