Grimbeau

shop soiled shoe left out

forgot

on street show rack

overnight.

rough insomniac tries me on

gruff sinister monoped

tried it on about three am

but put me back unhappy.

I pinched his toes (hopping on

stilettoes is comedic )

…

could do with a good

wipe clean

but I bet it’s

throwaway time.

big new boxes arrived today

brought in by the miserable

zero hour sales team

New Spring Collection:

my show days here are numbered.

soon price bin bucket

recycling or help the aged

…

my colour (shocking pink)

clashes with Dexter’s

who has not been out of his box for weeks.

I am weathered, faded

so we are sure to get scrapped,

made into god knows what

who wants sullied faded shoes?

perhaps little girls playing

lipstick and hair games

like mummies getting pretty
