my sister wears her socks inside-out
says it feels better
i hate socks
i wear tights
or walk around barefoot
but when i do need socks
i borrow hers
i wear them the right way
realise we all do things differently
…what if there is no right way?
when trying to understand another
i take off my socks
and wear them inside-out
feel the discomfort
of unfamiliarity
it feels strange at first
but time moves
and my feet can still dance
there are more important things
than socks
but they allow me to switch perspectives
step into the mind of another
set their spirit free from the fabric
i love my sister.
i hope she continues to wear her socks
inside-out.
