Old slippers
Tape mended
Lost soles
Wandering garbage
New slippers
Warm and cling
Don't say much
Like old flappers
Lasted five years
Four dollars a year
New will have to last
Eight years
To be as reliable
What new stories
Will they tell
I only hear them speak
When they flap apart
Perhaps if I listen
I will discover
The new way
Soles speak.
