Shoes

with you feet grounded
your thoughts turn toward the sky
and you start to float
you see your shoes are tiedand you close your eyes
imagine that your shoes
had those velco straps
so you could be set looseso you hold real still
believe that it is true
and your shoes move forward
leaving without youand you laugh so hard
it hurts your sides in pain
as you approached the sun
it rains on everyoneyou float away
you float away
and find yourself, laughing
into thin air
