the Office was really big then

Remember when we saw
Pam and Jim get married?
The Office episode, 
when it came out.
I wore red flats.
You said you liked my shoes.
I whispered,
"I found them in a parking lot."
It's true.
Suddenly I tumble, high from the sky
to a Wal-Mart parking lot.
And emerging from the asphalt
like Excalibur from the lake
red canvas flats.
When I was younger
I would've called them ballet flats.
Your eyes wide you reply
"I'm glad you whispered that."
Us in our bubble, the rest of the room blurred.
When we all were together
to watch a sitcom episode airing.
