Dirty Feet, et al.

What are your biggest challenges?

Get your dirty feet out of my new year

It was clean

It didn’t have these bags in it

When I glanced at it yesterday

It was shiny and new

Untouched

Get your dirty bags out of here

Walk backwards

And clean each footprint as you go

Leave the place spotless

As it was yesterday

When I glanced

And saw everything sparkling

Don’t look at my new year again

Don’t touch it

Don’t even ponder what it looks like

Keep your old bags

and your dirty feet

In your own year
