they're hung.

They're hung. 
 
living in berkeley, you would see shoes hanging from telephone wires everywhere.  it was common.  i never really knew what they were there for, and always just assumed that it was the result of drunken debauchery - some kid getting wasted, taking off their shoes, tossing them over the telephone line, thinking it was funny, walking home barefoot, and then wondering a week later why they have that strange fungal growth on their big toe.  but due to recent discussions, i have been enlightened by some other explanations of what these hanging shoes represent:

1)  it is representative of a drug dealer's 'turf' - once they have found a good spot, this is how they mark their territory

2)  it is gang related, and represents someone that has just been initiated into a crew (first order of business - jack someone's air force ones)

3)  it's a symbol of someone's deflowering - yes, they've just done it for the first time, and they want to share their joy with the world by tossing their vans out the window

what does all of this mean?  the truth is out there.

"Eyes wide open always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone that comes along.
Crooked little smile on her face tells a tale of grace
That's all her own.
Spinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong and she's all alone..."
