HUME GOES FOR A WALK

by Matt Morris

The idea of the shoe
is the memory

of the foot.  This primary
mode of transportation carries

with it–as he steps
off the curb without thinking

about structure or design
of intricate bones, muscles,

tendons, articulated
joints, etc.–

the expectation, certain
as tomorrow’s sun,

of the other shoe, i.e.,
the sandal of induction.
