Silvery Strands

ur toes spread out like fan. their reach is incredible! we’re supposed to be listening to some dean rusk thing, but we are mesmerized by the toes. we watch them spread over the lip of your sandal, apparently claimin the entire territory. don’t ask me why, but putting brown beans on them seems like a good idea.
