Shoes and Produce

In 1900s according to the Shoe Retailer and Boots and Shoes Weekly, harvest was used to display shoes.
A shoe shape is ubiquitous. It looks like a little boat. Consider the once famous brand in India - Bata. Ciabatta - slipper. A bread loaf.
Food shoes and Bread Slippers is a thing. In Indian Culture, food is a form of God and hence is longways from the shoe.






                                                                                          
Mismatched shoes are a trend this year. The yin and yang, the summer fire and the cool ice to beat it are a great combination for this season.
When it comes to design, summer is a perfect time for some soothing green as well as bright pink of the watermelon to grace your feet. Two colors shoes is great for contrast as well as wholeness.
Now I am thinking, couldnt you shape tiny watermelon shells into shoes like the big ones scooped out to look like  a basket.

A bug walks into a bar

last Night
A bug hovered near the triple light
ceiling fan
My kid cautioned me to it
I said "it wont bother you"
It came right at me
at my nape

It was my bright laptop
When I switched off the
lights
it hovered around the
laptop

I thought of being
careful not trapping
the bug in the folds

This morning
a dried bug
next to the Esc
button

A Green Stink bug
after some searches
on the net

Its front reminding
you of a hexagon
half

The Furies+

They followed me
all over the internet
in tops I adored
at the store
and more

And incessantly
with never fading
smiles and styles

They still follow me
but in a different
attire
that I dont care much
about

In the store
the mannequins call you
but online
they chase you
till you purchase
