With one shoe dangling

I was walking slowly,

changing my soundtrack

and he stood on my shoe.

So I turned around,

a reflex reaction.

‘Walk on mate.

Walk on.’

So I did.

With one shoe dangling

from my foot.

He walked past me

and told me to cheer up.

So I did.

With one shoe dangling

from my foot.

So I got to thinking,

what if I hadn’t walked on?

And had just stood there

forever.

I’d get nudged,

knocked about

and trampled on.

Forever.

I think he had a point.

I walked on.
