Poetry: Socks

They pair off and are inseparable.
Geese mate for life.
Dissolving their union on a whim.

So where does the mate end up? In an abyss?
A mystery of life to be observed, not solved.
For I believe it's merely serendipitous.

    Around drafty windows

    As I snuggle under

    Warm blankets but

    My feet are very cold

    They need

    Socks

    I remember when he was a puppy.
    I brought him home in a box.
    He was goofy and rumpled and sloppy,
    And I decided to call
