di-lemma

When all of my socks are clean I am paralyzed by choice.

I ask myself: Which shade of acid green, sailor moon pink, or dirt brown clashes least with what I am wearing today? Ankle, knee, knee-that-always-falls-down-around-the-ankle, or over-the-knee length? (though the last two are functionally the same).
This is when I give up, close my eyes, and plunge my hand into the drawer, just hoping that whatever I come up with does not have too many holes.



(I found this sitting in the "drafts" folder and I'm not sure if it was ever published. I think I wrote it my second or third year of college, but it is still true, and applies to the same socks...)
