"I found some magic boots" a short poem

[Jeremiahcp]

Thanks for the input guys/gals. Yes, this was inspired by the seven league boots. I feel the meaning of the poem is not very direct, but it is also suppose to be sort of a riddle. So I am having a hard time judging the clarity of the poem.  If I take 3 steps and travel 21 steps, then I only got to enjoy 3 of the total steps traveled and I missed out on 18 steps that, while traveled, I did not take myself. The poem is about taking shortcuts through life, and what we lose when we do.
