Sidewalk Kiddie Chalk
The plastic’s worn off my shoelaces
 They’ve been dragging way too long
 Like everything else in the world
 It’s hard to tell the color
 It all blends with the dirt and the grime
 They pick it up from the ground
 The lowest, lower than me
 That comes surprising to most
 But sometimes they change
 When the kiddies spread out the chalk
 Creating a falsity
 That we all can only dream of achieving
 They are the highest, higher than me
 Those shades on my laces
 Bring me down, hold me down
 Weighted forever
 Sometimes I wish those kiddies would stay home
