Tired Feet
We're tired.
Worn out, rough, sore abused.
Lotion is luxury, a poor attempt to smooth jagged edges.
Pretty colors, layered one over one over one, can't gloss the misuse.
Calluses worn for years provide the only protection most days.
But still, we are loved.
We are appreciated.
Our aches mimic the muscles of the legs, the back, the neck, on days when the steps wear onward.
We are a solid foundation.
We are feet.
And we are far less treacherous than the lungs.
Those rotten jerks quit working at the slightest excuse.
Like right now.
They've been on strike for days.
But we feet still journey to pharmacies and restaurants and cemetaries and bus stops.
Stupid lungs.
Long live the mighty feet!
WH - Short plays or monologues
If you can't guess by the ranting of my tootsies, still dealing with bronchitis. Little to no fever today, which is an improvement. BG on the other hand is just getting started on an antibiotic for her own fever/sinus/throat issues. Lysol is my friend. . . other than it causing more coughing fits when used.
