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.
