Tying Shoes

I put on my shoes and then
I just sat back and stopped.
I didn't want to go
anywhere and
I was tired
of putting on shoes and
having to go
places and
do things.
I imagined myself taking them off
for good
and then my clothing
too.
I would climb up
into my coffin bed
and sink
down into that dimension
and forget shoes
forget clothes
forget duty
forget the past and
the future
forget the things that will not
go away
and sleep would come
maybe for an
eternity
or longer.
