catch - ekphrasis 5

for Beth Ayer



waking up late this morning
meant a missed chance
at over-coffee flirting
with the fit girl from apartment 12

her sneakers are bright white
and well worn and i wonder
how does she keep them so clean
in such a shitty city

  1. Much appreciated Katy!
    I think the brevity is fitting.

  2. My Mum used to shout at me for getting dirt on my shoes, it's not really something you can avoid when the cities are so shitty!

    I like your imagery of that, though, she must be something special
