A Pattern for Socks
      --after Yun Dongju

Mother
what will you do
with that used stationery Sis threw away?
I never would have guessed
that you could use it for a pattern
by putting my old sock on it
and cutting around it.
Mother
what will you do
with that stubby pencil I threw away?
I never would have guessed
that you could wet it with your tongue
to draw the pattern on the cloth
to make me a new pair of socks.
