Ode+to+my+Grey+Boot

Ode to a Grey Boot Sorrowfully in my closet sitting With tons of padding, perfectly fitting Two shades of grey, black buckles, a cast Bringing back bad memories of the past.   With signatures and friend’s names My ankle sprained from a basketball game Faded like chalk, on a sidewalk Not being able to be an athletic jock.

Having to sit and not play to my despair Is a nightmare Now I look at it every now and then Wishing that I won’t need it again.
