recyclable trash?
i am not a poet. it is not my nature. so this is an attempt and probably the only one you will ever see... and it is okay if you tell me not to give up my day job, i have no delusions of grandeur here.
DUMPS
DOLDRUMS

So low for so long
trying to look up from my shoes seems like an impossiblity.
OH, hey, a little polish might help.

REVELATION
REVIVAL
REEXAMINATION
Glare off those shoes makes it uncomfortable.
Makes me look away
Makes me think
Makes me gaze straight ahead.
VISION
VIEW
VISERAL
VITALITY

i fall as I trip over a stone.
I think, so much for looking around.
BALANCE
BALLAST
BALL
BOUNCING
BALLET
a dance not for one as clumsey as I.
MODERATION

by now i just need to accept and face the glare off my shoes, no matter how painful it it.
