Charles Simic is a poet that sees a pair of shoes as something more. He uses such vivid imagery to describe them and what they mean to him. I spoke with Mr. Simic in early February about his poem “My Shoes” and asked why he wrote some of the things he did. The poem started out dark and finished as a happier and more positive poem. To open the interview I ask Mr. Simic, “when you state ‘With your mute patience, forming/ the only true likeness of myself,’ are you talking about your shoes?” I ask this because shoes do not talk nor could they have patients because they are not living things.

Dexter believes if he has Judy he will be happy and satisfied with his life. She represents fallacy in two aspects. The first, she is unobtainable which makes her a fallacy because it is impossible to make her part of the dream.

In another aspect, she is a fallacy because the image of what she is changes completely when Dexter sees her
The way he didn’t give up when he did not have to positive encouragement from his community is another reason why this piece stood out to me.

With that help he received, he feels that the lanyard is something huge that can recompense his mother. The other tone that is seen throughout this poem is the mother’s responses.
