Hanging Shoes Captured in Song

A blogger in Bellingham, Washington has written a song that mentions shoes dangling from the power lines in her town. In the song, the shoes are visited by a flying kite on a windy day:

i wish i could be a kite and ride it out above the field and across
town. i’d visit the shoes dangling from the power lines on pine street,
and skirt over the tree and the park on indian, then circle back over
the water, and across the highway, and then i think i’d just continue
to spiral up a n d u p a n d u p a n d u p . . .


That’s the most poetic thing I’ve ever read about shoes on power lines.
