the four-tiered shoe rack

sorry but i have no
room
for your red high heels.
my four tiered
shoe rack is full,
leaning
forward
heavy with so many
old shoes.
each
with a point, a purpose.
basketball,
running,
football cleats
with cobwebs,
the mud now dry.
brown and black
dancing shoes.
wedding shoes.
funeral shoes,
court room shoes.
tuxedo shoes.
tennis shoes,
and slip on loafers.
walking
shoes. blue
slippers for when
i go out
down the sidewalk
to get the daily
news.
maybe it's time to get
a rack for you.
