I am a shoe

I am a shoe.

I wonder what it would be like to be a child.

I hear the stomping of feet all day.

I see grass, dirt, woodchips, and pavement.

I want the world to talk to me.

I am so sad that nobody listens to me.

I pretend I am a person.

I feel your feet on me.

I touch the ground every moment.

I understand that your feet get big and you have to get rid of me.

I say, “I love being a high heeled shoe.”

I dream of making a friend.

The Football

I am a football.

I wonder when the next game starts.

I see a crowd entering the stadium.

I want to get kicked into the field goal.

I am ready to see the Patriots.

I pretend I am the coach coaching the team.

I feel Tom Brady’s hand.

I touch the net of the field goal.

I understand I need to be kicked.

I say, “What is the score?”

I dream of being a football player.

A Pencil I Am

I am a pencil.

I wonder what I look like when I’m little.

I hear children talking to the teacher.

I see all these words like me, I, am, people, and next.

I want to be used, but not too much.

I am all graphite and wood.

I pretend to be real.

I feel smooth.

I touch a lot of paper.

I understand some of the words on each page.

I say, “Stop!” I don’t want to be used and get too small.

I dream I live forever.
