Bared Logic
A cowboy takes his boots off first
as everybody knows
perhaps because feet pain him worst
as his unbooting shows.
In ancient times around the sea
Mediterranean,
their sandals came off last to be
bare, Apollonian.
It’s climate, see, that sets the pace
for how and what we wear
upon our feet, not style or grace–
as if the burdocks care.
