SHOES (Monday Poem)

by Mordicai Gerstein


You sleep under my bed,
yawning at dawn
when I wake you.
You swallow my feet
for breakfast.
You love to run
and though I'm fast
you always
want to run faster
and faster.
Do you wish I were
a horse?
Do you want to be
horseshoes
when you grow up?


from Dear Hot Dog by Mordicai Gerstein, 2011, Abrams
