Uncle-hood

The number of 
T-shirts has been
Reduced to two.
The jeans in my closet,
Are disappearing too.

The themed vests 
Are being replaced,
By white banyans.

Fit full-sleeved shirts.
And well stitched,
Formal pants have
Invaded my space.

Clean shaved face,
Thick mustache.
A tuft of grey hair,
Left un-attained..

Beer belly is a
New reality.
Self-acceptance is
Now a philosophy.

Age stole my 
Ripped jeans,
Adulthood is gone..

A kid in the street
To call me uncle..
I've become
My father.
