would you like a two year warranty?

the clerk
at the shoe store,
asks me if i want a warranty
on my
new shoes.
two years, no questions
asked
return policy,
or one year, repairs
and a new
shine applied if leather.
if a lace breaks,
we got that.
just bring them in,
the soles
come loose, or the rubber
inserts get
twisted, we've got that too.
of course
unusual wear,
say in bad weather,
or a dog gnarling on them,
will invalidate
your warranty.
plus if you're on your
feet all day,
or dance in them more
than twice a week,
the warranty
will no longer be good.
