God Save The Queen

Black lines intersect across red canvas. White rubber

squeaks against the linoleum as I walk. The insides have

been worn to the point that they fit the bottoms of my

feet perfectly. The soles have holes in them that I studiously

ignore in the interest of my favourite pair of shoes. On the

tops of each foot, twin golden crowns gleam. These crowns are

temporal. They divulge golden disks over a vast expanse.

In the washing machine, on the way to class, in the coffeeshop,

and in multiple friends' cars they leave bright sequins like

alms. These bright red shoes define me. Sometimes people

recognise the shoes even before they recognise me. My soul

shines through the bold lines and vivid colours leaking their

glory across campus.
