Could you
ever solve the mystery of an abandoned shoe on the road? Why is it that every
so often as you're driving along there's just one shoe lying on the road?
There's never the other shoe in the pair, just that one shoe! Does someone
throw their shoe out the window in disgust? Do kids throw their parents' shoe
out? Do they sprout from seeds sewn by bird droppings in the pavement? Or a
shoe left due to an accident, kidnap? What?!
I've
seen a lonely shoe on a dusty road quite often. I wonder why it’s there?
*************
One
sad shoe that someone has probably flung out of a car or truck,
I
wonder, why only one?
Something I have forgotten to remember,
That there are always mysteries in life.

Shoes
no longer go in pairs,
But why did the owner keep the other to himself?

I

Was he
afraid (as I so often am with inanimate objects) to hurt its feelings?
That one shoe on the road, invokes my awe and my sad pity.

Haha that's so true. Even I have seen that many times on the road, but I used to think maybe a dog just grabbed that shoe and left it behind on the road. The only logical explanation ? Loved reading the different takes on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteYour assumptions can be true too! Quite logical, especially when you don't want to turn the event to something tragic!
Deletethank you for reading :)

DeleteVisiting from the UBC - yes, when I see an abandoned shoe on the sidewalk or in the street, I wonder about it. A baby shoe, I can understand. But an adult shoe? What is the story behind it? Alana RamblinwithAM

Beautifully written, Aayesha. I often wonder why people forget or flung
