LOOSE SWEATSHIRT
I wore a loose sweatshirt to work today,
So loose that I hardly felt it on me,
Even when it got wet from the coffee I spilled,
Or when I soiled the sleeve with curry I was eating,
It got a little tear from getting stuck on a nail
I, however, didn't realise this till much later,
So loose that I kept moving my arms all day,
Pleased to be free when I was struck by a thought,
If only I could wear my skin as loose,
Loose enough to not realise
The trivial losses which I currently mourn over,
Loose enough for my soul to be free,
To cheerfully move around!
