Balancing delicately on a chair
in a clothing shop window,
Encased in an antique souvenir glass box,
A new shoe that had yet to start its journey.
I did a double-take, drawn by the juxtaposition of modernity and antiquity.
Perfection curation.
The glass box was one of the largest I had ever seen.
The shopkeeper shook her head.
'Box and chair not for sale.'
Darn it.
