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
