Boot

The steel toes stop the cash drain

when it’s better to be inside protected

in the right size of…?

Rarely would they call you straight-laced

and the cracks in leather are in the ceiling

to be world so upside-down right now.

Do they even come light?

Dress ‘em up in purple for Christmas

plum pudding you may have worn as a child

that any work meant something.

There is balance on steps to reach

another sticking point.

All day affair with long socks

easing the 3 o’clock hour

no escape from schools

no pinch in the office

no mud in your eye

for what you spent

of course you last.
