Where do they come from

The migrant socks

Alone in the world

Adrift

Where do their partners go

Why do they fall apart

Why do they drift aimlessly around my house

I look in the dryer

Nothing there

They went in together

Now one is lost on the journey

Gone

Who knows where

Inevitably

They settle together

The singular socks

Start a community

Of those that don’t fit in

Bloody foreigners!
