Socks

Some days

I get

so low,

that I feel

as if

the only things

holding me

together

are my socks.

Knee-highs,

leg-encapsulating

socks

simply say,

"If we can keep

your calves solid,

you have legs,

and you can

handle the rest

from there."

It's the strangest thing,

most peculiar,

but I suppose

I must hang on to

whatever stops me

from collapsing.
