I am from
February 5, 2015
I am from backyard football and eating junk
with peers giving a stare
sleeping and eating and performance
with hid n’ go seek and laundry detergent
I am from musical noises in the back and also in the front
with dog knowing who is and is not there
a house that’s difficult to be seen
with supervision from nadine
I am from friends, family, and other acquaintances
with music filling the atmosphere
brothers and cousins and Aunty Sheri
with excitement across the room from uncle Terry
