From Picture to Page: Final Tug

Have a lot of work to do this holiday. Wrote this poem as early as I could based on this Sunday photo.

Final Tug

Will trade 
stretched out straps 
for new soles. 
 
Year done,
not fit enough
to hang from wires.
 
Horatio Alger
stuck in endless
unpaid internships.
 
Tired of own
head in jar,
unguessed worth.
 
Sores-filled feet
will walk only
toward open doors.
