Heel and Toe

Getting dressed in the morning

an uncomfortable surprise,

a hole in my sock.

What a way to start the day

feeling my heel.

Like a heel?

My mom would say:

I told you so.

A toe you sew?

Never discard a perfectly good sock

for a heel you can mend.

Where's that old door knob

she used to insert in a sock 

as a pattern to mend a heel?

A reminder of depression era thrift

Me?

I threw the damn sock out.

It's way too early to think, 

let alone mend or sew.

Coffee please.
