Optic White Chuck Taylors: Right Shoe

On October 1st, 2008, I got a new pair of optic white, Chuck Taylor, Converse ALL*STARS. Using my double tipped Sharpie, I then spent the following two hours planning my works, and three subsequent hours writing, doodling, and musing on how Chucks became the shoe of creative license. This is a collection of what I wrote, as inclusive as possible.

THIS MACHINE SURROUNDS HATE and forces it to SURRENDER.
How many loved your moments of glad grace, and loved your beauty with love false or true, but one man loved the pilgrim soul in you.
To dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea... Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Oft in the tranquil hour of night, when stars illume the sky, I gaze upon each orb of light and wish that thou wert by.
WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!
I walked out in the desert to look at the moon. There was a jeweled city on the horizon. Spires rising in the night, but the jewels were diadems of electric and the spires were the neon signs ten stories high.

Oh glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber.

Love me, that's all I ask of you
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need
He was a stranger to all the world, but he was not lonely
How does it feel? How does it feel to be with a home, like a complete unknown? Like a ROLLING STONE. You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal. Oh.
WITHOUT TRUTH you are the LOOSER
You wasted life why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl.
