Toe Calligraphy



i like to keep my Head down
          i don't Meet passerby Gaze
                        i don't Get a Fake hello
                                    a Bro-ish head Nod
                                                 a Shy recoil
                            Judgement aplenty with Sadness under every look
                 fabricated Impressions are easier to swallow
                     rubber Soles don't remind me of what i will Never
                                                                 Understand

            ...

muffled toe cacophonies Deposit the ever changing calligraphy of what is
                        Strides can't lie

                     my Phone can't lie

 while in step i need a Reason to Leave the plane of contact
                      i Take my phone Apart constantly
                                      Stretching the phone case on and off

to let the Truth or Simplicity of the machine out
   then to Quickly  Encase it again so that maybe it can relate to me


have u ever seen someone take their shoes on and off Again
                                                     Again
                                                     Again in a tick
                   
                             its the same thing
                                                     Shedding
                                                     Putting on
                                                     Clothing

                                something Ultimately Transient

       a Sea of unseen feet making unseen Footprints on unseen soil

it's the Eyes that Lack cushion

                 i Invest in the Journey
                                  Appreciate the ground covered

Heads Meet Fake Bro-ish shy sadness
Judgement Impressioning Soles to Never Understand the Deposit of Strides
Phones give Reasons to Take Apart the Stretching Truth
Quickly looking for Simplicity Encased AgainAgainAgain
while Shedding then Putting on Clothing
Ultimately only Transient Footprints in a Sea Eyes
Investing in what the Group Lacks

Journey to Appreciate
