Notes About The Poem

All About the Right Shoes

A mouse in cool cat Air Jordan sneakers.
Tremendous bounce. He sails high and higher.
With plain whitewashed canvas, he’d be weaker.
Mickey, you’ve made the team and you’re on fire.

Tremendous bounce. He sails high and higher.
Basketball dunks through hoop, far up in clouds.
Minnie’s found where he spends his time, aspires
to top her boyfriend’s best, to please the crowd.*

Basketball dunks through hoop, far up in clouds.
The orange orb hangs out in outer space.
Minnie’s Air Force, stylish, and gumption-proud.
Oh dear, will Mickey keep up with her pace?
