Shoelace
December 30, 2009
Crisscross, tuck under, loopty loop, tie.
Tryin' to walk with some pride.
Fake smiles.
Wondering when it will be a quick stride.
Every strand is coming untied slowly.
Drip, Drip, Drip.
The rain is too heavy.
Running in circles.
In every direction.
Getting thrown into a pocket, like a useless penny.
Hoping there won't be many.
Crisscross, tuck under, loopty loop, tie.
