Sole
I asked of the cobbler,
“Is it possible to craft a soleless shoe?”
to which he replied,
“You’re a thing of possibility
as tied to a body that carries.
Who bleeds what is not red
and sleeps on that which is not his head?
You ask me if it is possible to craft a soleless shoe,
and I reply, you’ve yet to walk a mile in mine.
Like wine,
you must adjust to this skin.”
-A. Struthers
