Love and Shoes on Telephone Wires = Confusion
Richard Dry’s novel, Leaving, (5 stars on Amazon ) has a shoefiti reference on page 235:
Love walked over to the truck and picked up one of the handles. Li’l Pit brushed himself off and took the other strap, and they started off down the block again. It was brighter now, and cars were on the street. Love looked up past the shoes hanging on the telephone wires to the cloudless light blue sky. He took a deep breath of the yeasty smell coming from the bread factory. He didn’t understand why things had worked out - or why things went wrong when they went wrong. His legs began to shake, and at first he thought it was from the weight of the trunk, but then the shaking spread through his shoulders and chest, and by the time he reached the edge fo the bus-terminal parking lot, he was doing everything within his power to keep from crying in front of Li’l Pit.
Some advice for Love: Don’t look to shoes on telephones if you’re trying to make sense of things, Love. You’re only digging yourself deeping into confusion.
