Chewed-up spearmint Wrigleys spat out on the ground next to your boots
Grey/beige mini mouth mold freshly smeared with dirt
Your new oaky grassy buffalo hoofers misstepped; stale mint tags along
Scuffing, clomping, cursing, attempting gum removal from boot
Discarded, stepped on, shoe scum; the way you make me feel
...
My 8th and final poem entry into the Sensational Challenge
