“Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.”

CHILDREN’S SHOES
x
Have far to go,
And the road stretches
Ahead of them
All the way to infinity.
x
Romper suits,
A green beret,
A Dutch bonnet.
Arm in arm,
x
They’re walking
Into the hoarding,
Getting smaller
As they grow.
x
They’re from a gone decade,
In for the long haul.
And the goal
Is what exactly?
x
Reach old age,
More or less whole?
Little pairs
Grown out of
x
Still exist, you know,
As hand-me-downs,
With mended strap,
Buckle sewn back on,
x
Heel renewed,
Or perhaps a scrap
Of leather from
An even earlier one,
x
One that has lost
Its partner years ago,
Serves as a patch
