Sonnet of a Stinky Sneaker

I can recall fresh red fabric vivid against vibrant white, Your oh so infamous blue star emblem shown brightly, Proudly laced before I even left the five and dime store, Many miles since we have walked to determined destinations I have sought, From fa (0) comments

Here I sit on throne adorned with crown. I fought and I struggled knowing the cost knowing some would burn and the rest would drown, but I am proud of those who have been lost.

a morbid lord's day

i have become overly aware of my own mortality and instead of freeing me i am drowning as i feel the weight of tears fill my stomach, my lungs, anchoring down my heart to this place, fearful to leave, knowing it will not come again. i often spout a mantra, ever wishing that the sheer repetition will keep a mere hope alive, that without God we are free to face our common destinies and equally freed by this to animate every finite point of this world as we like.
