ANGELO CASIANO We Wear the Same Shoes

WE WEAR THE SAME SHOES

By Angelo Casiano

We wear the same shoes we walk the same way we do the same things from Mon-through-Sunday

We joke the same jokes we do the same do's and we don't the same don’ts because we wear the same shoes

We talk the same way, yes we talk very loudly and we show off our struts as we show ourselves proudly

We puff out our chests and we walk with long strides to show those who don't know who's low and who's high

We dislike the same people and hate them, need be if those people have different opinions than we

People come to us with ideas that are oh-so confusing so they must be wrong or else their thoughts would be more amusing

But we do love the same things and it's things that we love

the shoes, watches, and shiny red gloves!

And cars and phones and things shoved in boxes and coats made from the fur of Northern Red foxes

Oh how much I love things they make me so glad! And they do well at distracting me from the fact that I'm sad

I mean my life is so lit and so hype- you all know it but I don't like to go through life completely not knowing

I have such large questions in the back of my head and I expect to find someone like-minded but instead

I got my "bro" saying, "Come on, you're not that guy. We wear the same shoes so you're not that much different than I."

He says, "Here have a beer or two," and admittedly I do but there still remains a question: Why do we wear the same shoes?

I guess they do well in wet rainy weather

but who on earth would want to wear shoes with no socks made of leather?

I'm tired of being mean to those who are kind-hearted and I swear it's not me it's the shoes that start it!

And it's not like I can go anywhere that I choose because other people don't like the guys who wear the same shoes

But from all the shoes I'm quite a unique pair! I like poetry and nature and sometimes I just sit and stare

at the thousand of stars that dazzle the night sky and maybe if I'm lucky I’ll see a star shoot on by

So I guess I'm stuck here in the land of shoes all the same I can't help feeling like this is all but a game

But you still have a chance you can go in any direction you choose! but remember to look around and make sure you're all not wearing the same shoes
