Whose Shoes
for Frank Chipasula & Barbara Kanam

sharing her with him now
wanted to keep her to myself

helpful though when other men
are also fascinated about your wife

reassured she’s lovely, worthwhile
remind you of your good taste

others to compete with for affection

even if/even though
you have her to yourself/for yourself

you know that there are others who
wish that they were in your shoes
and in your bed
