Big Shoes
by Gabe Redel


Those who boast about themselves
to anybody
within range;
who make themselves appear tall
at any pass of the day;
who pay careful attention
to brag at the right times;
who build themselves
higher than their own height;
who are quick to point out
their smallest achievements;
who believe being perfect
is possible within the right perspective;
who will make themselves look
even brighter by blotching the face
of someone else,
here is what I have to say to you:
I don’t blame you for your
reckless words.
I blame those who’ve heard you speak
and haven’t yet told you
to shut up.
