sock

mismatched socks are the only certainty in a universe of chaos

happiness, love, desire; nebulous and unsure

but wash a load of laundry and see if every sock shows up again

i don’t even bother any more

in any of it

let my misery dress me in one ankle sock colored gray, one dress sock in paisley to my knee

i am just grateful a pair of underwear or pants is connected, the monstrosity i would be in the morning would be thrice damned if not

maybe that is the lesson

we are all just unmatched socks looking for that correct partner

or i am just tired of looking for metaphors to describe her

either way

my striped boxer briefs are a singular pair while my feet are at odds on a rainy day of nonsensical failings

could you be my missing mate

or just another checkered daydream of fitting in

  1. I’m pretty sure that my brain would melt if I attempted to wear mis-matching socks. Does not compute. I’m kinda getting a little anxious just thinking about it really. (Did you know I have literally never lost one individual sock like people say? Never. I’m… not sure what I would do if I did.)

  2. this is the first thing I read this morning….I laughed all the way through, still have a smile.
    Breath, step and never, never lose your sense of humour.
    I sometimes think it is the only thing that save us.
