Socks

I have strong feelings about socks
how they should be rolled & arranged
tightly enough, one sock roll pressed
next to another so they don’t unroll
bright colors against the yellow lid
currently serving as their shelf — six
yellow lids topping six black plastic bins
arranged to form a broad-based U
against the interior walls of my closet
shelving at shin-level for folded clothes
I wear most often — turtlenecks, tees,
tights, shorts, pajamas, undies, socks
arrays of bright colors colliding, each
crying, Please, please, choose me!
