shoes
the other day i was waiting for a train with a young soldier. he had prosthetic legs. shiny titanium things. he bounced up the train steps with remarkable agility. handicapped my ass. when i was his age people would get clunky things that looked like legs. but were unwieldy ungainly monstrosities. that always struck me as weird. he's a man with no legs. why should he pretend otherwise? sheehs. the purpose of legs is to move the body around. not to wear shoes.
