forgetful

Went to run errands today 
in a car I don't normally drive.
Forgot to take any footwear.

It dawns on me how being barefoot
induces a self-consciousness. 
Strange stuff. Awareness.

When I break a rule
it puts me in another head-space.
Too bad about lots of rules. Stupid stuff.
What was crafted for a reason can get
twisted beyond reason.

Anyway, usually I think of this place
while off hiking in the hills or around town.
This time it was while driving, unshod,
and pondering how my day would go.

Figured I'd drop a line.
