The Frequency of Socks
by Ken HarnischInto the labyrinth I go
Hating the reason
For the trip again
Thinking self-reflection,
Which is fine for philosophers
And other frightened men ,
Was a journey
I used to take
So many times
I thought they named
The highway after me
Thinking is fine in its place
But I have not yet determined
In which drawer of my overstuffed dresser
It should go, or how easily
I should be able to find it
Again when I need it
Say, with the frequency of socks. 07/14/2008 Author's Note: Tag, Mel...you;re it...and watch those pesky mosquitoes
