shoe shopping (laces don't fit, pt. iii)

Lucy, show me those in the light.
they're beautiful, but they're not
the ones i'm looking for.

what is it you're trying to say?
millions of words are said,
and there are so many combinations,
the laces of at least one of these shoes
has to fit.

original feeling? original feet?
please, something has to fit.
even just a little bit.

the reflection on these are wrong.
i need something stronger.
the sole is too hard, too soft.
the laces don't fit.

why can't I walk around barefoot?
Lucy says it doesn't work that way
no shirt, no shoes, no service.
no one will listen.

shoe shopping
takes too long
and the laces never fit quite right.

so i opened my own shoe shop.
feel free to browse around.

  1. Or maybe the speaker could try galoshes. Galoshes don't require laces.
