ode to my boots

by Heather - Taurus

oh, these new
black boots:
  beautiful pseudo-
combats with strong, thick
 lacing all the way up past my ankles;
it's a new lease on life!
 a tantilization towards 
the seedy and criminal--

oh, they call to me:
dangerously curved,
  five-inch rubber heeled
Souls; shining, silvery
 studs; they cry out 
in an anthem 
 to the Hard Life, begging
to walk the narrow streets,
  (streets so kicked up
and fallen under
 you can't tell concrete 
from rubble),

oh, they plead with me:
  "walk us, MISUSE us, 
   abuse us,"
and i'm giving in, airily
  succumbing to the grime
of suburban ghetto life,
  brazenly brandishing 
these weapons of 
  womanly warfare:
                    my boots.
    my sii-ii-iinfully black,
      craaazily bold,
   big, beautiful 
     BOOTS.

Reason for writing:

    ? what else ?  i dont think i've met a woman yet who doesn't just enjoy going out and buying a new pair of shoes and loving the way they make every outfit feel like new...vain, i know, but true...  :)
