The Real Problem With Socks

Humans worry about strange things.

This morning the little human

stood for a long moment

looking at his socks.

One was blue.

The other… definitely not.

He sighed

as if something serious

had happened.

But from the corner

I had a different thought.

Surely wearing mismatched socks

cannot be the real problem.

The real problem

would be not finding them

at all.

Corners teach

a simple rule:

Better a strange pair

than no pair.

Humans forget this.

They try to match everything.

Clothes. Colors. Plans.

Even days.

But Fridays, I suspect,

were never meant

to match perfectly.
