Sneakers

 When I started to jog

Back in ‘75

(When so many of you

Weren’t even alive)


The choices of shoes

You would wear on a run,

For a woman, at least,

Made the shopping no fun.


Just Adidas and Brooks,

And with limited styles,

Were the options to wear

As I chalked up the miles.


Then came Reebok, but still,

All the pickings were slim

So you’d see the same shoes

On the streets or the gym.


But that isn’t the case

Anymore, as you know.

The selection had managed

To crazily grow.


As I sit here and marvel

At sneaker-clad feet,

I will rarely, if ever,

Detect a repeat.
