A photo-essay re
The shoes of famous dead
People—artists, singers,
Writers, athletes—and notes
That the shoes are still full
Of life, what they’re saying
Is that they find meaning,
And you can find meaning,
Contemplating objects
Part of meaningful lives
You may know much about
Without ever having
Encountered the living
Persons who wore those shoes,
And it’s close to saying
The meanings are the lives,
The meanings are alive,
But you know it’s something
Slightly else as you stare
At the paint-flecked wingtips.
