Shoes Poem by guillermo veloso

Time passes/shoes grow/extra shoes/shoes move room to room/shoes are shy/shoes hide in boxes/shoes go to work and return/shoes take the first steps/shoes kick the cat/shoes play and stumble/shoes warm and slide/shoes slip off to make love/shoes wait in the closet/shoes wait at the door/shoes demand attention/shoes catch the tears/shoes sleep beneath the kitchen table/shoes dream of school/shoes shine for weddings/shoes walk slow at the end greened with grass browned with soil and get put away to remember.
