and the blueness that refuse to stay.
The reds and whites from an art project
and the tears from the college application reject.
A bit of blood when you scraped your knee,
the scent of the bread from Applebee's,
the stray glitter from Prom night, which went well.
The stories that a pair of jeans can tell.
Author's Note: I got this idea from seeing a pair of blue jeans the magazine, and I thought about all the little things that go into the objects that we own that change them to reflect us. Thus, this poem was born.

Nice! This goes back to the idea we discussed that our things/objects can hold so many memories and ideas. One of my favorite poems "Good Will" by Sharon Olds traces a mother's memories of her son through a pair of his old jeans...
