Abbey Mader Poet Free verse

Amoxicillin Bubblegum

You chew me up and spit me out.
You walk all over me.
Your sneakers, sticky from the pink gunk that still clings to them.
You get new shoes and a new flavor of gum.
Bubblegum and Nike doesn’t suit you anymore.
But Mint and Adidas do.
On the occasional days, you feel nostalgic,
Craving the taste of bubblegum 
And the cushion Nike provides you.
Those days never last long.
In the end, I will always be the gum stuck to your Nike shoes.
Spit me out and walk all over me again.
I’ll still cling to you like the sticky gunk I am.

The Situation December 2, 2023 at 3:21 PM I'll never forget moving my old classmate and he had his tennis shoe collection on the floor in the living room. I had no ideal they were to be collectables. I was in the Pawn shop yesterday and on the wall tennis shoes with rediculas prices.
