He spent all day the old cobbler
Translating concept into object
I merely imitate he intimated privately
The one transcendent shoe
Ah but are not the various parts
Expressions themselves of originary ideas
The great stiff sheet of cowhide
Product of husbandry and chemical transformation
The sharp tacks the stout thread
Artifacts of ingenious manufacture
And what of the arcane tools of the trade
The intimidating blades the specialized hammers
The extraordinary implement for fastening the eyelets
They too enlist in the roll of esoterica
And the sad symbol of application or of bondage
Called the last for at the last it embodies
The form of shoe itself not shoe
And all in each of innumerable categories
Pertain to their respective models
But in experience surely the variations
As size shape color gender and the vagaries of fashion
Matter
All things aggregate other things
Hence all event all existence all situation all individuality all universe
Pertain to the one great aggregate
And the line at the bottom of the bill cannot encompass
The marshaling of things visible and invisible
