Somehow being naked with socks on feels
Like a stranger saying how much you’ve grown
Out of place, your parents’ dinner party
Past those who brought semi-cheap wine as a gift
The key to wearing socks while being naked is:
acceptance
You’re here now
Might as well enjoy it
Slide around
Marble floors feel smoother when you’re naked with socks
Don’t believe me?
Prove me wrong.
If you get a running start
you might even be able to slip into a pair of shoes
