An Ordinary Shirt
by Mohan Rana
Between noon and evening
An interval comes
When sounds, actions
Are already tired
As if now
All wishes have come to an end
I sit down on any
Empty chair
Just now a boy
Wearing a yellow shirt passed by
I remembered
My shirt
In those ordinary days
It was possible
Yes, this life was possible
I am still wearing
Shirt just like that
