where are my socks?

[staceyk]

70 years old in your socks
and red flanel jammies
doing the chicken dance
for passers by
while waiting for the light to change
on the corner of 7th ave and Missouri

noticed that it was too much trouble
to close my purse
with the little tag missing on the zipper so
I left it open
as I knew that I would be back at my car soon
and would just need to open it again to get my keys back out

am wondering where i went so terribly wrong
and realize that i may not have
and feel disapointed that i just can not let people be and let me be

intention

then i was called here
shell shocked looking for my sense
of joy
like the man
doing the chicken dance
in his
SOCKS!
