i put pants on
and a new pair of socks
walk down stairs
sit and read brautigan
drink coffee
madeline meets me to write
i have written with other people before
but mostly i am private in my endeavours
i have never written with ex lovers
one time i went to a show with one but it felt like the flip side of a dream
‘she says, ‘what do you want to write about?’
‘can we write about my new socks?’
‘uhhh’
‘i really love the colourful design in the foot but i am disappointed with how the leg of the sock is just blue so that when i wear shoes no body can tell how beautiful they are’
‘you should wear flip flops’
and that is how our song
‘flip flop slick socks’ was written
i think it is going to be a hit
