Suspended Sneakers

Yesterday evening and again this morning, I couldn’t help but notice the proliferation of abandoned running shoes, or sneakers, in town. Okay, so two pairs perhaps doesn’t constitute a proliferation, but if one sighting is odd, what does that make two?

And these shoes weren’t simply lying on the sidewalk or tossed to the side of the street. Both pairs were prominently displayed as if someone wanted them to be spotted by all passing motorists. Tied together by their laces, one pair was hanging from a hydro wire stretched across a main road while the other was suspended from the horizontal arm of a traffic light at a popular intersection. Hmmmm…..

Is there a secret movement, um…afoot?
