i wonder where I went that day
after being sacked
i would have gone back home
if I had of had such a thing
i may have looked in the posh shoe
shop window for comfort
that store figured a lot in my early days
losing myself in the display, styles
and colours
I bought a pair once
they let me pay the four pounds
weekly
as I did not earn much more than
that weekly
only on tuesday did we discuss our
lack of money then
now with lockdown
we spend little
though we have
more
coming in back home with those
shoes she laughed then scolded me
who do you think will look at you
notice you
at work the upholstery assistants
laughed
I still like shoes james
and boots
and my home
