My Payless shoes hit Newport ground
Stomping, scraping, scuffling
Through high society.
Talk of politics-
Our coffee is cold
Adjust the thermostat-
Our president is a hero
White walls and cars
And waves of people.
I feel my weight,
The yellowing teeth on my tongue.
I remember
Walking here
When I was a kid.
I laughed louder
And ate more
And didn't wear shoes.
