Calisthenic/Text Exercise 1, Week 2

Object Studies, Ex. 10, Ch. 6

Shoes

Tread-bearing, toe-worn, imprinted

Speakers of direction, standing supporters, protection for my feet

Jumping fences, lacing, crossing the bridge

Stumbling upon my first pair in my closet, screwing spikes into track shoes, taking them off before lying with my boy

Envelop nerve endings, barrier before stepping on glass, proof of movement

Tread-bearing, toe-worn, speakers of direction

Laced by steady hand, carrying travelers across bridges,

but dropped on the floor before lying with another

(another with feet exposed and toes gripping; close, open).

Envelop nerve endings and be a barrier before glass;

otherwise, to the world, prove our movement.
