Two socks enter.
Only to lose sight of each other in the agitation and tumble.
Lost somewhere between drain and lint trap,
Or upon the aberrant path leading to the dark side of the moon.
One lonely sock waits in my drawer.
“Where is the damn cheese?”
The cat replies with a knowing wink before slipping away to its feline agenda.
A glance at the dog provides no answer.
Then a blur of gray crosses the floor.
“Squeak!”
“Eek!”
Guess who stole the cheddar.
She hesitated before she left the bridge a second time.
The first crossing had led to her destiny. A lifetime of rigorous physical training and endless mental preparation culminated in this second crossing.
One last step unleashed her upon an unsuspecting world.
