I am Glad that I still Have those Old boots

I AM GLAD THAT I STILL HAVE THOSE OLD BOOTS
by Barbara E. Meyer circa 1992, Benicia CA.

While you had been gathering clumps of expertise off the ground like they were Easter Eggs
I had been sitting around in a forlorn time zone

While you lovingly plucked ripely from the root
I ahd given myself the boot

I was bare
Had given up my fair share

Luckily I had saved those old boots to pull myself up by
Down from my high am I
To know my own root was so readily obtainable is a sty
...and retrainable, lifts me high
Goodbye
