shoebox

I.

to a shoe,
being in
a shoebox
must be like
being born
and put in
a coffin
(meant for one)
with someone
that looks just
like you do.

II.

or it could
be like a
tragedy:
the modern
Romeo
and Juliet.
young lovers
in their tomb.

III.

i can't stress
this enough,
to a shoe
it might be
like living
in a pink
or salmon
mobile home.

IV.

whatever it
is like, i'm
sure the light
is welcomed
and the feel
of doing
what you are
intended for
is like God.
