Hairy Feet

Stepping Around Feet Cold on Marble
Little Streams of Brown Hair Follow
Why My Steps Seem so Much Harder
I Look Down Hair my Feet Will Swallow

Clinging Steadily on My Feet They Pray
So I Can't Get Very Much Farther
Without Bending to Shoo Them Away
On My Hands Now They Want to Stay

Every Day They Grow Stronger
Their Numbers I Count No Longer
Let Them See The Brooms Anger
Or The Vacuum's Heavy Hunger

I Don't Like Hairy Feet Any Longer

Honestly, at first I got annoyed with your poem... but while reading it thoroughly, I just realized that there's a deeper meaning behind those "hairy feet".. Well you should think of it in a positive way that those hairs might be your guardian trying to protect you from all the negative things happening around you. They are just there to be your companion and keep you away from harm. Sometimes, we think that people around us became our shadow and we want to get rid of them. That's exactly the same with those hairs... You might just think that those hairs are invading your own privacy but the truth is, they are just there to be your guardian and companion to make you happy even for a limited period of time...
