You were at Ralph's looking for something sweet

Burbank CA

Description

I didn't expect to see you walking down the liquor section without shoes. I thought maybe you were trying to buy a bottle of something sweet and leave the store as quickly as possible, so I made a wide berth and clung to the opposite side of the aisle. You seemed to be pretty easy going, not in a rush, twirling your basket and running your hand through your hair. I snuck a peak as I passed and your feet looked soft and clean. Parking lot black top didn't seem to affect you. Nor did the sticky floor beneath the flavored liquor shelf. An instilled cause for concern made me wonder if anyone was going to ask you to put on shoes or slippers while you shopped. And I wondered what your response would be. Would you laugh and pull out a pair of slippers from your purse? Would you ignore them and continue shopping? Maybe you were trying to be noticed, without really trying to be noticed at all. My mind was overwhelmed with countless possibilities and scenarios. But one question stood out amongst all others: Do your feet ever get dirty? I'd love to find out.
