“Two Old Friends”

Hiking around the lake
I discovered them.
Two old friends
Sunning themselves by the shore,
Momentarily abandoned by their owner, cooling in a swim.

Their soles full of pride in their owner-
Their tongues speak volumes:
Of basketball games played at the corner court
Of hurdles jumped and races won
Of mile of hikes and long bike rides

I wave
At the owner,
And press on around the lake,
Wondering what my kicks
Would eventually say
About me.
