The Svithe of the Two Socks

.

Sunday: I need socks for church. I grab two seemingly identical Gold Toes from my drawer. But they are not identical: One has faded. I don't have time to change it.

At the end of the day, the faded sock has stayed up without fail.

The blacker sock has fallen down my calf over and over again.

  3. And behold, I will liken the kindgom of heaven unto two socks. For the sock which appeared unto men to be the blacker was in fact the most blackguardly. And such is the kingdom of heaven.
