White Nikes
 By Alex Gordon 

At the end of summer, you find yourself inside a shoe store
A clean pair of white Nikes immediately catches your eye
You buy them without hesitation
The first day of school comes, as you lace up your Nikes for the first time
The compliments come, and the “fake” jokes of course
As the air gets crisper and the leaves start to fall
The Nikes seem to glow against the reds, oranges, and browns of autumn 
You’re still careful not to crease or stain them
And make sure you don’t wear them anywhere they might get dirty
November and December bring cold weather and snow
And the Nikes blend into the white wonderland when you wear them
You fret not about a little bit of snow landing on the white leather,
But still can’t see yourself playing street hockey in them just yet
The months fly by and before you know it, the winter has come and gone
The April showers bring the wet and muddy weather for your Nikes
You care less now about them getting scuffed, wet, or creased
And you hope your feet aren’t too wet when you arrive at school
The May flowers are a nice change to your Nikes
You can put the flowers in-between the laces to add a pop of colour, 
And distract people from the scuffs and creases
The last day of school brings the excitement of summer and the wearing of your Nikes
You wear them everywhere, and couldn’t care less about stains, creases, or scuffs
At the beach, on walks in the forest, and during the 1 AM adventures to 7-11
You ride bikes and run in the water with your Nikes
But sadly, summer can’t last forever, and as soon as it came, it ends 
At the end of summer, you find yourself inside a shoe store
Looking for another pair of white Nikes
