New Shoes

by Arsalan Pirzada

Every time it happens, it leaves me stranded in outer space with sand in my pockets. I do not know the maybes and why-nots. I feel like people trying on new shoes in a shoe store, looking for the perfect fit. Every time I think I've found it, my feet start aching, sometimes blisters too. Out here, there is no "one size fits all." There is only you, me, and sand in our pockets.
