SOCKS

In this wet place

with no up or no down,

I spin and spin

Until I am drowned.

My brother has lost me

In the spinning and churning,

Going up and going down

Around and around.

Once it stops,

I’m hung upside down

and I wave around

pulled and pushed

till I’m all dry.

After a while,

I’m brought back in,

Everyone searching for my brother

In the big sorting.

Once he’s found

After a while

We’re stuck together

And put in a pile.

A few days later

I’m put on your feet

And stay with you

Until you’re beat.

When I start to smell

You throw me away

So I end up where

I started my foray.
