NEANDERTHAL

some people wear flip flops
others don high heels
some squeeze their feet
in leather dress shoes
combat boots
or Nike Airs

whatever you wear
I say, walk like you’re barefoot
and act like you’re naked

like you’re the first human
walking out of the dark cave of existence
into the light of modern times

why, you may wonder?

it’s just another way
to manage what others expect from you

a way to get people to leave you alone
