Memory Shoes
Running the race?
Yester-marathon they remain.

Not given rest to seek the real me.

I hear the voices still from the racing track,
Common called unique.

I must quiet down,
Even to speak is a sin against this world.
Nevertheless,
Action to walk from the flow of the norm.
Someone see & says, "Yes, indeed!"

Simply hanging in the closet,
Journeying past muse of where not to be-
