The devourer of toes


shoes won’t stop it
boots won’t slow it down
you shouldn’t have
uttered the invocation
voiced the incantation
without protection
circle of fungus
ring of sludge
whatever it takes
you eschewed it
now it chews you

don’t compound the error
by calling its sibling to rein it in
don’t summon
the biter of ankles

My daughter dreamed that my legs had somehow gotten left behind, but my feet were still where they belonged, on my foot rests. And she wondered how my feet knew to stay there. In the words of Mott the Hoople, I have intelligence in my feet. Too bad I couldn't apply that to some useful purpose. For instance, if they could kick somebody for me, I would have perfect deniability.

"Honest, officer. It was a muscle spasm!" *Apologetic grin*
