Earlier version of this poem "published" elsewhere (no return link)
Shoelaces words are shoelaces string them right they allow you to move else they can trip you up words are sandpipers dashing in and out avoiding waves of bad sentiment plucking at leavings words are streetlights strung along the way revealing hidden danger attracting moths and lovers (Thanks to Ping Liu) Revised June, 2001
