55 i dreamed someone was calling me to hurry up. He was high on a hill + moving fast, w/ head turned back, painfully watching my progress. i needed to cover my feet + was lost in a mountain of shoes. None would fit. No two would match ...

It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.  - Muhammad Ali

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.  -Charles Spurgeon 

We harbor sorrow inside of the body. We have to expect a leak. Maybe i will learn to wear sorrow on the bottom of my feet, like an ancient Egyptian, drawing a likeness on the inner soles of my sandals, symbolically crushing the enemy w/ every step. i’ve tried + tried again + again to work through it. Over it, around it, in front + behind it. Now i’m going to work beside it + see if I can manage it.

I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul.  -Victor Hugo 

Space is vast the road is limited. Have you seen the shoe tree? It is somewhere on the north-bound side, heading up Route 44 in the Mohave desert. Along near, but after Amboy, and Needles. W/ its boughs bowing + swaying w/ the weigh of sneakers, pumps, sandals flops, a louboutin stiletto, a golf shoe, a fuzzy chartreuse slipper, an ice skate, manolos, it become the texture of shoe ... You hit on wondering if there is a sister tree wearing the mates to all those brogans. Such an incredible landmark is wasted, seen as a mirage, you don't stop for photos. Thinking only when the tattered image is a pinpoint in the rearview mirror that perhaps the wayside shoe shrine really did exist. 

How strange, when your father's wearing women's clothes and platform shoes, that a pair of loafers looks incredible.  -Moon Unit Zappa
