Shoe Poetry Prompt

A New Silver World
I walk down the abandoned street,

The only one in this new world to not have a hovercraft.

As I push open the heavy platinum door, I see the silver girls.

Their skin stained the only color left in the world.

I forget that I planned the models to come early for the runway.

It's a new beginning for me, in a way it is a risk.

A new color for the world to see.

The history books called it...red.

Defying government laws, I dress the girls in their red lace.

The blaring techno music starts, I send the first girl out...

Nothing, not a sound wave in the air.

My show ends and I walk out to accept my applause. 

When I walk out, I take shape of my color, defying, free, out of the ordinary.

I see every camera snap at once, everyone wanting a piece of my red shoe.

As I walk home I think to myself: Blue tomorrow?
