Slippers

The right slipper fell apart
During morning exercises
Sole flapped off
During achilles heel stretch
I got out
My clear duct type
Wrapped it up
Not quite ready
To buy new slippers
Not quite ready
To slip into the new
The old familiar
Still gripping my feet
Now bandaged
Mind soul
The old familiar
My war zone
Mind soul
Still gripping
Wanting replacement.
