I wonder if they chose them deliberately
These shoes that are more than just shoes
Eyegrabbing, they pull your gaze away from trophied walls
To this floored installation of swaggered awkwardness
Still young enough their pose lacks the insouciant poise
Of polished divas, which makes it all the more charming
Slightly pigeon toed and wobbly
They rock their kicks
With a flourish of celebration
Splashing the gallery floor with pedal extremity rainbows
Ready to zombie stomp to the witching hour
Making each footstep a brushstroke that undercolours
This opening night

LOVE this!
When I saw that photo, I knew there was a poem in it!
Love the two on the right. Not a fan of the style of the ones on the left. Good good to all. 😉
Thanks!
