COMFORTABLE SHOES

Faithful conveyors, what I would give to
Ease the burden you must bear, and
Help you to carry this flesh and bone from
Hither to you and back again.

Strapped with the bindings of fashion or season,
Designer's opinion of what you should wear;
Punishment undeserved and unwanted,
Wondering what must have been your great sin.

Blessed relief when the trial is over,
The buckles undone, the laces unlaced.
Wonder on wonder, why were you subjected
To such cruel torture meant to abuse,
When a few more moments of searchful reflection
May have offered relief and quickly erased
All the suffering which could be avoided
By choosing a pair of comfortable shoes.
