One Brown Sock
Where do they go?
Nobody knows.
I think the dryer
feeds on clothes
and my brown socks.
I put two in
the other day
and somehow one
was whisked away
without a trace.
Did UFOs
slyly descend
to cart it off
before the end
of the fluff cycle?
Or maybe there’s
a deep black hole
where wet brown socks
and monsters go
when we’re not looking.
Alas, a mystery
it’s true
So now I’m wearing
one dark blue
and one brown sock.
