Oh! So Now It Matters? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Perceptions change dramatically,
When assumptions done...
Are discovered to be,
Painful realities some could not believe.
Until...
That shoe worn by another,
Has found an opportunity...
To be 'squeezed' on someone else foot.
Delivering an immediate experience,
To be remembered for a very long time.

'Ouch!
How on Earth,
Could you have worn this for so long? '

Oh!
So now it matters?
You wait until you put the other one on.
And keep in mind how easy...
You told others I had it.
Since the day I was born!
As you have stated.

'Why are you being so sarcastic? '

SARCASTIC?
You will soon learn what the facts are.
And let me know how comforting it is...
To stay in 'your' place.
