At A Footwear Shop

They led me to a rack of shoes 

Which had dignity writ all over.

I checked a few and found

Each pair offered too sober .

I turned around and surveyed,

There was mirth in some places,

Kids and young couples. 

' I was here before....

You had then shown me some....'

I didn't tell them this;

I speak a lot to myself these days.
