Philistine.

Step back, woman. And it seemed like Sassy was trying to get Freddy into my drawers. He sounds like a nice guy, but talk about mismatched pairs! You bustin’ on my mom? Step back, woman.

We're trying to have a discussion about fine art, people! I think Freddy has the right attitude. Clair and DCA's mom--take note. So wait…Sassy J wants to get in DCA’s drawers?

Well, in the case of socks, my mom. Or is that too literal? “Who says that mates have to match?”

It is prone and prostrate. However, in terms of finding a mate--surely it was produced in large quantities--and in today's technological age, what should stop it from finding a match on the Internet? Lostsocks.com? (hmmm, maybe it's time for me to start a website) eBay? Or, perhaps it should try one of the other online dating services we view with conflicting feelings. And as Freddy points out, why not just try another mate all together? One of the one's in DCA's drawers? Who says that mates have to match? (the last question is not necessarily rhetorical) Ummm, I hate to bring this up–but that sock is not proud and erect. It is prone and prostrate.

i’d like to believe that there’s not just one sock out there for all of us. life is a very long time, even for apparel. i would hope that if i were a sock, i’d be all full of patches and such before giving up hope for a comfortable fit.

When its relationship with its partner began, there were no constraints or defined roles; each easily took the other’s place, and they were happy that way. But eventually the partner came to see this flexibility as ambiguity, and this lack of definition—of a sense of place—became claustrophobic in its own way. Unable to express its needs and fears, our subject’s partner merely disappeared. Sadly, I think our subject will never again find its match. Sure, there are other abandoned souls (soles?) out there looking for a mate, but our subject knows that it will never truly belong with any of them. And our subject may even see another that reminds it of its lost partner and think that it belongs with this newcomer. But the latter will surely already have its own mate, and our subject merely risks entering a love triangle from which it will only be cast in the end. Perhaps sadder still, there are those soft hearts (I among them) who, while they think themselves compassionate, merely perpetuate this sad existence by giving those such as our subject the space and the time to continue brooding endlessly. Hell, I’ve got a whole drawer full of ‘em. Perhaps the subject fell victim to its own flexibility.

From this, I can derive that the relationship between the two socks was short-lived, causing little damage to the psyche. It is far worse a crime to get comfortable and become familiar and worn, and then abandon your mate. What’s optimistic about this piece is that the sock does not have any holes in it.
