Abandoned Shoes

I was walking across East 7th Street this past Tuesday, when I saw a box up ahead.

"What could that be?" I thought to myself.

A box.

I went in for a closer look.

A closer look.

It was a pair of abandoned shoes — Topshop, no less!

It reminded me of a scene from "Waiting For Godot", which I will quote here:

VLADIMIR:
Your boots, what are you doing with your boots? 

ESTRAGON:
(turning to look at the boots). I'm leaving them there. (Pause.) Another will come, just as... me, but with smaller feet, and they'll make him happy. 

VLADIMIR:
But you can't go barefoot! 

ESTRAGON:
Christ did. 

VLADIMIR:
Christ! What has Christ got to do with it. You're not going to compare yourself to Christ! 

ESTRAGON:
All my life I've compared myself to him.

There you are, on this Black Friday…
