Hey, Punit! I'm amazed that today's poem was inspired by my little essay. I'm so glad I was able to impart the strong feelings I had that made me want to write about this subject. Truly, clothing items, and for us, T-shirts especially, are a testament to the story that we've lived through so far. The T-shirts we're drawn to buying, the T-shirts we throw out because they no longer represent us, but also the ones we decide to keep, because even though they're old, they still feel like a part of our story. Thanks so much for the shout-out and congrats on the wonderful poem.

Such a lovely poem Punit. It reminded me of one of my favourite podcasts - 'Everything is alive'.
my old t-shirts
tey have three colours
the first color
is what you can see
lying in the meadow
and looking at the sky
where they float lazily
those that are color my old t- shirt
sometimes a bird flies by
you reach out your hand
and you almost have it
and it's only lost
in your imagination
the second colour is like looking
into the abyss of a cosmic hole
and the third colour
is just where these
two black holes
can meet together
my old t-shirts have
only three colours
without patterns
;)
