People Getting Divorced

People getting divorced
  riding around with their clothes in the car 
 and wondering what happened
  to everyone and everything 
  including their other
 pair of shoes
 And if you spy one
  then who knows what happened
 to the other
  with tongue alack 
 and years later not even knowing
  if the other ever
  found a mate
  without splitting the seams 
  or remained intact
  unlaced 
  and the sole
 ah the soul
  a curious conception 
 hanging on somehow
  to walk again
 in the free air 
  once the heel
  has been replaced
