Another great poem from Robert Ojaki. It’s relevant to both the USA and UK today:
Shoe
The right has only one option,
as is true of the left,
neither to mingle
nor disappear like washed socks
or loved ones in a casino.
There are those who believe
in fallen towers and pasts
burnished beyond recognition,
and truth, as it was written, for them,
in blood, with money inherited
from thieves. The puddle happens.
The door rotates. A snifter shatters.
The shoe’s approach defines its wearer.

This first appeared in March 2016, but somehow seems even more appropriate today.
Fascinating !!
