why do we lose things?

i realized today that i have lost my camera. i think it's in the valley of misplaced items. that's where all my missing shoes are. where the missing crayons are and where the remote control goes. missing keys travel there as well. where the lost mail gathers. that's where that thing you just saw a second ago went. but not where the missing socks go. that's the sock monster. the sock monster lives in between the dryer and the washer at home or prowls silently at the laundry mat. i think he uses them for currency. i think the static from the dryer my help him stay invisible. that's my rendition of the sock monster. before i forget tonight it's HOPE THERE'S SOMEONE by ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS enjoy the stockings...
