Converse

I tied on a pair
nothing
with extras
laced them up
tight
double knot
Converse
without flair
I tied them
the way I was taught at five
or was it four?
Don’t know,
my nose
was always buried in a book,
the perfect angle
to see my Converse
-Peace, enjoy your moments, you are who you are, God loves you, exactly like that.
