Senseless Shoes

I see a ghost running
in high, high heels
as if she couldn't fly
in senseless shoes

I see her on her treadmill
wishing she could fly
away to where ghosts
wear senseless shoes

They meet in a trance
with alluring glances
then drift off, laid-back
in senseless shoes

Getting my bike fixed
drinking a beer
at a neighborhood bar
wearing my sensible shoes

They didn't fix my breaks
and the gears won't engage
I imagine the bicycle repairman
only owns senseless shoes

She twists and turns
careful and alert
working behind the bar
in her sensible shoes

Confused about the change
from the hundred into fives
and no ones for an exciting tip
much to learn in your clunky, senseless shoes

Then PNW fills my head
where everything's higher
like trees and mountains
and those who don't give a fuck about senseless shoes

Sensibly senseless
riding the waves
ready to capture
coasting in senseless shoes

My friend is always too far away
I sit watching foam turn to beer
drunk off the thought
of the girl in senseless shoes

She wears a smile
not to resist
you would never know
she sometimes wears senseless shoes

I know her as kind
a woman of the world
one who knows
she's thinking of those who have no shoes

I used the word, fascinating
and she questioned its use
I left it as such
loafing in my senseless shoes

When one makes you wonder
how far you can go
to press for more
peeling off my senseless shoes

When you melt at the sight
of words you want to read
with an urge to satisfy
all the fuck about senseless shoes

A reach without touch
to a beautiful stranger
you're further away than a dream
floating free in senseless shoes
