_Socks_

I woke up
 from a dystopian dream, suffocated.

I made tea and
 unrolled the newspaper. Both of them told tales of a colonial past
and an authoritarian present.

Truth and justice are my socks.
 It’s so hard to find them. Both. Together. And 
those I find easily are the loose ones with holes.
