All In a Day

shaped like a boat, a sock peeked out, down under the rim. a baby bootie, a boot camp scootie, befuddled the face, bright red, of a pale blond — a mother on the side. could have been undies lining the sailor cap! waterlogged laughter. sea of despair. however... i showed her up, dereliction of my polished shoes. barely an adult, sneakering to hide in the head, luckily placed as a guest in the gatehouse and not out on my rear guard or thrown in the brigg for my lack of attention to detail. the blond carries her family in a seabag — not allowed — can’t find the other sock. 9/3/2020 All In A Day Poetry Contest Sponsor - William Kekaula scootie means child that is between the stages of crawling and walking. Here I’m using it as a baby’s sock. sneakering is a play on words as I had absentmindedly put on my sneakers
