     I get why he’s sad. He missed the sale. It’s like seeing a flyer for REM’s Work Tour with 10,000 Maniacs opening and knowing that train left the station five years ago.

       Or being there at a certain NJ state university where they were going to perform and forsaking the concert for a paper that was due the next day.

   The Lonely Shoe Lying on the Road
   by Muriel Spark

   One sad shoe that someone has probably flung
   out of a car or truck. Why only one?

   This happens on an average one year
   in four. But always throughout my
   life, my travels, I see it like
   a memorandum. Something I have
   forgotten to remember,

   that there are always
   mysteries in life. That shoes
   do not always go in pairs, any more
   than we do. That one fits;
   the other, not. That children can
   thoughtlessly and in a merry fashion
   chuck out someone’s shoe, split up
   someone’s life.

   But usually that shoe that I
   see is a man’s, old, worn, the sole
   parted from the upper.
   Then why did the owner keep the other,
   keep it to himself? Was he
   afraid (as I so often am with
   inanimate objects) to hurt its feelings?
   That one shoe in the road invokes
   my awe and my sad pity.

     That Muriel Spark wrote poetry was something I had
     forgotten to remember.

     Great catch, brother. Thanks for sharing this.
