Where Do They Go?
It is a truth universally acknowledged,
that a single sock in possession
of fabric softener, must be
in want of a mate. We remove
the lint traps, and wonder
if some sort of quantum entanglement
exists between dryers. Will our left
sock cross continents, and pass someone’s
right sock traveling to us? We hear
the wail of these widows,
and mistake it for the spin cycle.
