IN MY SHOE

It is easy to talk

when  you are barefoot

standing there

looking over the fence

a comfortable distance away

enjoying

your uninterrupted day

sure,

You must have a lot to say!


But what would you do

if for just 1 minute

you were standing there

in my shoe?

A TEXTILE MATTER

There is a finer human fabric

that covers human errors

the same way red carpets

cover broken runways

So that the lighter things in life can 

sport their weight

and fascinate

mixed crowds


They

All dressed in tailored styles

at times contrary to personal taste

so that  designer's dreams

Can take its rightful place

A textile matter

which saves a friendship

or an enemy

by extending just enough yarn

to hold a troubled heart in place

and keep it beating
