Shoes go bad.
As do a lot of things
you wouldn’t suspect.
Shoes get brittle.
The soles curl.
They go out of style.
Yesterday,
I inventoried my shoes
and I donated any shoes
I didn’t think
I’d wear ever again.
A few of those shoes
had ‘gone bad.’
But many others I donated
while they were in mint condition.
Someone else
will benefit from
the shoes
I am no longer wearing.
There are business supplies
or devices
or other things
in your inventories
that are likely
on the verge of
‘going bad.’
Donate them
or use them
before they lose all value.
