Poet Laureate: How many will notice?

How many will notice?

Heads up
Getting where they need to be
Walking, speed walking
School bells ring

Something feels different
It looks normal
But on closer
inspection

Same binders
Same branding
Same size

But how
Many will notice

My sneakers are mismatched.

Note: This was not intentional. I only noticed as I was walking to the train this morning!
