My socks were skittish going into the dryer-

That sketchy bastard always conspires

To covertly devour one of the pair

Leaving the solemate in despair…

Now pairing socks and the situation is dire.

About the Creator

Kristen Balyeat

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.

Also, i love you:)
