Sensible

Safe. Sensible.

Soft rubber soles,

slipping in and out

of darkened rooms.


Water proofed, non skid

ready to support, shift,

stabilize, and pivot.

Stepping over,

spilled substances

better not described.


Stepped out of, and left

to set alone in lockers

when off duty.


Too dangerous,

loaded with microbial bits

to be allowed to step over

the thresh-hold,

and out into the world

beyond.
