The best means to address
a missing sock is found
in a poem, the home
of rhyme schemes.
For, in the first place,
socks need not match,
as we now know a poem
need not end in a plan.
But if not for mates
we won’t know when
one goes missing
or another is lost.
Then again, in this
morning’s laundry,
alas, two socks
in a mismatched
duo, and, instead
of looking around
for their mates,
decide to pair off.

Infidelity or disinterest ? I guess sometimes a sock is not just a sock.

That “sometimes a sock is not just a sock” is the beauty of poetry.
But it is still just a sock.
The literal is always the first in line, the least leery.
We get “sock” from “comic actor’s shoe.”
April is National Poetry Month.
My themes for the month include:
we wash too much, use too much soap.
socks don’t need to match
(matching socks is like matching artwork
to one’s home decor)
and of course aging.
