package on the porch

my new shoes come
in the mail

in a big box wrapped in plastic.
left out in the sun.

I shake the box.
yup.

new shoes. exactly like the ones
I have.

but are a little dirty
and worn, the laces slightly
frayed.

I try the new shoes on.
walk around the house,

stand at the mirror
and admire them.

they make me strangely
more happy than I should be.
