By
now everyone knows that shoes and socks go feral. Shoes seems to jump
out of the car unexpectedly and socks...socks are just sly. They leave
sometime after the washer but before the dryer. Or they slip out as we
take them out of the dryer. Or they go free-range through the lint
filter and air vent. We also know there are packs of shoes and of socks
out there, roaming the streets together. But the problem lies when
once these feet covers leave the pack. It could be a falling out. It
could be that they were sadly left behind ("Save yourselves," the holey
sock might whisper...) They do not fully realize that once they have
left the pack, they are not safe. They are stranded along the side of
the road, hoping to find a partner, hoping to find another like them...
So we all know about these feral socks and shoes. But I didn't realize the same thing happens to orange and yellow safety cones. It is so sad to see one out and away from any civilization, any real construction, leaning against the freeway retaining wall or laying crumpled in the emergency strip. I can only imagine how down and out these cones can get on their own. I would expect them to at least try, to hold signs that say, "Will secure for food" or something. But there they are, face-down in the freeway gutters.
And so it goes...peace~~~
