We Need To Buy Socks, Michael (Free verse) by Fear of Garbage
I am looking for something. I am cooking up this idea inside my head. Here I am crouching in a meadow or an underpass Wearing a too-tight Mexican dress. Take the camera; take your shoes off Michael, put them on the rocks. You are grinning, artistic, you were wearing flip-flops. Here are the people watching, from high overhead. They are grinning they are laughing; oh god I am bright I am red. Oh hey, Michael come back. It’s the black dress, I was wrong, the two of us by the underpass. Oh! Look. Here it is. Shining and dark Tucked into the grass and the hard, hard dirt. I take it, I take it back with me; I carry boots and barefoot And pick up rocks. I am looking down; neither of us is wearing socks.

Afraid I could not work out the last two lines. Which is a shame because the poem built up well.

the picture it paints for me is that the government is racist, and the high flying leaders are looking down upon people and laughing at them

neither wearing socks - sounds like they have just done some of what crystal lane swift talks about a lot.

Close?
