The Shoes With the Flat, Black Laces
The Shoes with the Flat, Black Laces
Blue; aquamarine to be specific
With flat, black laces
Tie them on and try to keep pace with
My dreams, goals, and vision.
Every January is different
But the same.
Goal: lose 40 pounds, gain strength to astound
My world—athletes, family, friends but really just me.
No one cares, no stares
But 26.2 is a hill away, one more mile between
So in the meantime, I tie them up,
Always the same: sock, shoe, sock, shoe
Walk, run, walk, run
Keeping pace in the blue shoes with the flat, black laces.
