Retirement
When you’re retired
and you feel a bit of grit
between your toes
you sit
untie both knots in your laces
peel off the sock
turn it inside out
take stock
spot no particular obstruction
reassemble footwear
having dealt with it you think
even if it feels like something is still there
When you’re a worker
you just stomp round all day
get crabbier and crabbier
Take shoe off - no way
