Hightop homage

From the private files of Meaghan—used with permission

At the intersection of Drummond and Pelham streets in Carlton, there is a roundabout.

Soon after Ben died an excellent collection of sneakers developed, hanging from the power lines above the roundabout.  

Neon Nike hightops

Crisp white Adidas

Blue and orange Tigers,

Spinning slowly to display their glory.

In my private thoughts, the growing collection was homage to Ben.
