Sneakers



Yep, I’m aware I’m due for a new pair of sneakers - 
the oldies are subtly showing their disrepair - even 
seams are yawning - and, where the rubber meets 
the bit over th' toes they’re expressing those gaps 
that’ll eventually expose your digits without regret 

But I’ve been down this track; a few years back th' 
wise solution would have been buying two pairs in 
th’ first place - while under those circumstances it 
made sense, we’ve become Elders since, who’ve 
time t' plan th’ necessary ‘Target’ shopping spree  

Therefore - it isn’t the worry taking first place on a 
list o’ things we might need to contemplate for th’ 
next visit - and that’s maybe within a week or two; 
unless Her Ladyship gets into visionary mode and 
her inspired imagination sees something that we’ll 

experience dire penury without - & no, I do not try 
to officiate, it is beyond my capacity; I just let it all 
happen in th’ same space my sneakers exist in, & 
as yet we see no need to accelerate anything else 
except good-deeds-existent retirement harmony
