Platform Shoes
November 13, 2008
THEN: We shared spotted white walls,
cassette tapes, and bunk beds.
I got the bottom, my superior the top.
She was my roommate,
who didn’t mind when I danced around
in her platforms.
NOW: We have different colored walls,
CD’s, and separate beds.
She is my hero
who doesn’t mind it
when my feet slip into
her six inch stiletto heels
that I’ve borrowed for prom.
