The pandemic has gone on for a long time now. People are tired. Bone tired. Resilience has run down. Some have lost work or are living in the fear of doing so. Although we know that many of the issues are complex and cannot be solved rapidly or easily, we still lose patience. In addition to our own struggles, we go online only to see the struggles of others. Their frustrations and angst are expressed or even ranted, looking for a home. Some of their angst gets transferred on to the accumulation of our own. While walking I caught this transfer happening to me. Then this happened.
Vincent Van Gogh did a number of studies on work shoes. He saw the meaning and story behind them. Even the philosophers, such as Martin Heidegger, would write about it.
This frivolous verse seems light and vague at first. Beyond the humour is more.
