I still use

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

I hold
a gene set
handed down
through the generations
that I still use

the curve
of my nose
the crinkle
of my eye
that I still use

the attitude
towards life
the education
I gathered
that I still use

the earth
that I walk on
the air
that I breath
that I still use

the burning sun
the impatient wind
that smell
in the flower
I still use

I still hold the jeans
weathered and tattered
yet comfortably mine
it fits me
and that too
I still use
