By Nancy Daoust

friends call her Imelda Marcos

delighted she can wedge

her misshapens into such hobby

feet know—

Libras are slave to trends

luxuriate in this

penchant weakness

lenient wallet

pop culture loves; Fluevogs,

Converse, Free People, Vans

feet want more—

Queens of the Stone Age

shoegazing Beach Fossils

moshing Alice in Chains

ovating Iggy’s wild grace

Just a Girl yelling

shut the fuck up

fallen flat arches, hammering toes

feet need more
