The red high heels
add three inches to my height,
several levels of self-appreciation.
Then I trip over the sidewalk,
and a twisted ankle
puts me on hands and knees;
a position I usually like, but not now,
sprawled on concrete adjacent
to the busiest street in town.
Fuck-me pumps?
That's one way to explain the bruises.
