A Dead Man's Shoes
By cadymae
They were a dead man's shoes
two thrift stores ago
now they are just nasty
but they spoke
to the clear skinned rube
stepping off the bus
they told of the promise
of a hot
meal
given
before
but never after
grooming

A clever, insightful poem with a great Bukowski-esque flavour. Fantastic.
