My Silent Shoes

The sharp clack of a heel against linoleum,
beating out uneven, unfettered
rhythms, messages,
memories, echoes. But now

I wear my
silent shoes,
so you won't hear me
coming or going.
You never heard anyway.

Well that's rather morose! Ya know, there just isn't enough original poetry on my blog!! I'll have to do something about that. :) Glad to see you have a blogspot! Talk to you soon.

I wrote it while I was doing classroom observations at one of the local high schools. When you're just sitting and observing, it's like being in high school all over again, and THAT is morose...
