sigh, these sneakers are going to have to go in a week or so. i've put it off for nine months, and as exchange winds down i pack my bags i know they will have to be left behind, that hole out of where my besocked left baby toe would peek, the worn heel cups, the peeling indiarubber, the telling overpronation result of overcorrection of flat feet, the paint stains, mudstains, the corduroy scrubbed smooth. colours that match after three years in the sun, finally together, laces that still don't in spite of all this time. oh i can't bear it. remember when i picked them up, half-priced, after whatever i'd been wearing gave way, and i knew i knew exactly what i had to get because yes i'd been eyeing them and yes, i happened to be right at the shop?evelyn at 9:15 AM
