RATTY OLD SNEAKERS
Folder:
AMERICAN ZEN KOANS
Looking at the
ratty old sneakers
sitting on the bathroom floor;
holes, stains
worn out insoles.
It’s not like
I ever plan on
wearing them again
even for yardwork
And yet there they sit
waiting for me
to finally pick them up
and throw them out.
As if it ever were
really that simple.
