Local Lines
untrue grit
when you’re outside
and feel a bit of grit
between your toes
you sit
untie your bootlace
peel off your sock
turn it inside out
take stock
find nothing much
it doesn’t seem fair
it certainly felt
like something was there
In lockdown
for something else to do
try inserting
some grit in your shoe
