I saw a mystery road shoe the other day while driving . It was all by itself on an overpass bridge, sitting there all sad and abandoned looking, just a lone sneaker on a cold, gray windy highway. Every time I see one of these mystery road shoes, it makes me wonder. Where did it come from? Who did it belong to? How did it get there?
I think of all the reasons a shoe might wind up alone on the road. Silliness? Accident? Anger? Gravity? How could someone not miss a shoe? Sometimes the shoes are in pretty good shape, something I'd miss if lost. I've seen sneakers, work boots, sandals, and slippers. I never do see high heels (maybe that says something about where I live!).
Why wouldn't someone go back and get their shoe?
It's something that's teased me for years. I know there are perfectly reasonable answers to the mystery road shoe questions, but maybe...
Maybe the mystery road shoes appear to give me something to be curious about.
Who knows?
Love it!
