About this ebook
I wrote this book in hopes of earning enough to buy a dog to complete me. I'm not sure if I'm ready for a furry child, but who really is ever ready to be a parent? I guess I will never know until I try. Help me try. Otherwise, I have two Master's degrees (science and music), so I am highly educated and therefore must know what I'm talking about.

Dedicated to those that inspire
Empty Shoe
I told my friend I was going to write a book called Empty Shoe
Self-named
Ironically, I truly believe the glass is half empty
I stare at the glass as one stares at a cloudless sky for rain
Fake it until you make it
There’s no way to fake the physiology of water
Eventually it may become foggy
But my eyes are the ones that are tired
Or ex deus machina, there is no glass or water.
Everyone writes books these days
We are all so very important
We all have something to say
Like all trees falling all at once in the forest
Maybe the source of climate change
Can’t we be more like a circle of dominoes
Let’s be each other’s company instead.
There are so many subway stories
I like to smile at other people’s dogs and children
I don’t like to smile at anyone else
I have resting bitch face
An active Napoleon complex in my mind
In actuality, it is resting upset face
People smile at me instead
I avoid eye contact, stranger danger
I am not upset; it must be the glass’s fault.
My inner feminist at her best
A small girl squeaking, ‘I’m hardcore!’
I may be little but I will bite you
Shakespeare was referring to me
This is not chick-lit, there’s no love story
I will however adamantly root for your love life
But more importantly, your inner feminist.
I am very curious and that will get me into trouble
I ask questions to your question
I want to discover the ultimate truth
Where the growth becomes doubt
