I lost a pair of my favorite shades to the ocean.
We had a good run for a few years, they weren’t broken,
In great condition actually – the legs needed some tightening,
but overall they worked and looked good.
I found it kind of enlightening
To let them go, and know they and I had a good run,
But I wasn’t so attached or invested –
It’s part of my philosophy – apart from being well rested,
To focus on what you like, but keep an eye on the price,
Brand names are fashion scams. You can be totally glam
With a pair of sunglasses that cost as much as a pound of rice.
Practicing not being attached to things centers my soul
So when I lost my cheap shades, I just shrugged and let the good times roll. – RSM
