I just realized
I probably have
All the shoes
I will ever need
In the event of a global disaster
I have several models
That will help me perform
Any task
Just fine
I am now wondering
If my stockpiling of shoes
Has been some sort of outward projection
Related to feelings of imminent danger
It would make sense
That when faced with my mortality
I would feel the need to question
Whether I could make it
Through another few pairs of shoes
I stopped buying sneakers about a year ago
Which could mean
I am now at peace
The world seeming to be a safe place
To reside and raise children
Perhaps I have given up
Or grown up
It could also just mean
That I really like shoes
And have no money set aside
For things as foolish
As shoes I don't need
