On Wearing Shoes

On Wearing Shoes

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen
"

Taking responsibility for bad behaviour does not warrant attack!

"

Take a long,

hard look

in the mirror

of truth.

For when profanity

and anger

and defiance

are the language of love,

I no longer

want to be in love

with you.

A simple request

for discretion

does not warrant

such unbridled

avant-garde, refusal

and rage.

And by the way,

the shoes I wear

fit snug

and do not cause

as much pain as

the red stiletto heels

you ground into a true

and peaceful heart.

Perhaps you should

visit your dressmaker,

ask her to release your corset

and your unjust fury.

avant-garde, refusal.

getting kicked in the heart by any kind of shoes hurts so badly.
