Cinderella

There was a man on the subway who had on 

one dress shoe and one flip-flop with a black sock.

This reminded me of when our friend came over for dinner 

after working a thirty-hour shift in the NICU or PICU 

or ER or maternity ward or something crazy,

and she wore a different style black flat on each foot.

She didn't realize it until she was on the subway.

And when Jon went to work with sneakers

instead of his dress shoes

when he worked at an i-bank,

where people dress up for work.

11:41 AM Jonathan: I know

  I was so out of it

  I walked out of the apartment

  and like

  I was getting down the street

  like by starwich

  and it was like

  I was thinking about

  like

  how maybe I should buy another pair of sneakers

  because I really like my sneakers

  and they might become extinct

11:42 AM and then I was like

  wait

  why am I thinking about this

  it was because I was wearing sneakers

  so I went back home

  to put on my other shoes

And also at my pre-college psych course

at St. Peter's College

where the hippie teacher wore two different Birkenstocks.

That might've been intentional though.

I've yet to accidentally wear the wrong shoes

due to sleep deprivation.

Have you accidentally stepped out wearing the wrong shoes?
