Mismatched

A bunch of socks without their mates Are nestled in my drawer. You’d think I wouldn’t save them Since they’re no good anymore. But lately, when I’m choosing clothes To wear out on the street, I realize not a soul will notice What is on my feet. Of course, this was the case before The virus, but today, With mask and hat, nobody Could ID me anyway.

They could probably ID me because I have burgundy hair, but I see your point. However, I do not see you....

Laughing with recognition, both of saving orphan socks, and feeling anonymous with mask on. Good one!
