Reading of 'I Can't Dance in Your Shoes' from the book, Swan Wreck. words below: Why do you stock the liquor cabinet years before the refrigerator? People think you are a roller. But I know you are a skater. I can't dance in your shoes, Mommy... Doubt I can name all the funny things on the table but I'm sure the cops can if you make me mad. Why can't you step away from your reflection and notice that it's not normal for me to be this sad? I can't dance in your shoes, Mommy... Twenty years later, I cherish my own scribble on crinkled up paper lying in the trash with all kinds of stuff spilled on it more than your peek-a-boo maternal babble. I'm not sure I will ever be able to dance in your shoes... I think I'd rather go barefoot. Genre Poetry Comment by John Ashton Randolph Aweaome! 2020-09-09T15:04:19Z
