\n(a woman to boot)
\nobserves as I stoop
\nto examine the sole
\nof an age-old boot<\/p>\n
\nrescued me many times
\nfrom the searching hands
\nof apartheid’s police<\/p>\n
\ndown my length of leg
\nthe side-pockets usually
\nfilled with meeting notes)<\/p>\n
\ncouldn’t keep up
\nwith my striding
\nhere there and
\nwhereever too<\/p>\n
\nperchance a slip
\nof the Freudian variety
\nin these challenging times<\/p>\n
\nas we are supposed to be
\nfree from all iniquities
\npost-1994’s Majority Rule<\/p>\n
\ncan it be fixed
\n(do we actually want to
\nand at what cost)
\nor is it beyond repair<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.womeninandbeyond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Your-sole-is-broken-2.jpeg\")
