I am from

I am from cheap ivory colored diaper, fresh 2 liter coke bottle, and a brown and orange striped t-shirt.
I am from a place where not finishing a coke bottle is preposterous
I am from my grandmother’s house were anything can happen

I am from peanut butter eating competitions, intercepting and ochre colored ball

from my friends hands, and challenging each other to couch parkour
From where the first conquistadors settled, to today it has always had
magnificent view and a great place to visit
St. Augustine beach welcomes me after I jump out of the car onto the  sand
filled parking lot while the seagulls are flying low close to the ground

I am from a bouncing baby brother who is always kicking the ball up and down the
field, a caring mother who is always breaking our falls, and a father who will protect us from anything
I am from a cheesy, funny and violent grandmother who is always wrestling us to
the ground playfully
I am from a loving family who will always pick me up and dust my shoulder off
when I am down

I am from bloody WWE fights with my cousins, playing soccer anywhere I can, and
soccer games watched by me and my grandpa
From the astonishing, beautiful view of the tan and almond colored mountains to
the enchanting Lake Titicaca glistening under the beautiful chartreuse sun
Sucre, Bolivia oozes joy to me with every move I take through the doors of my grandparents’ house

I am from a big head with curly black hair on it, a mickey mouse sweater, and
an old fashioned rose colored bed
I am from drumming with spoons on upside down cans
I am from a small apartment were (lack the space) the sky is the limit

I am from a precious and AWESOME peanut butter jar, a frosty frosty from

Wendy’s, and a humongous turkey with luscious condiments
From the rice and stew made by my dad to the homemade pizza made by my chef
cousin they are all delicious meals
The family kitchen grasps you by the nose and every stride you take it tugs you into mouth-watering thoughts, while everyone is waiting at the table for
the next course

I am from washing clothes and the dishes in the patio, majestic plants, and old
crimson colored chairs
I am from a porcelain tub which is used for my baths when I was a kid
I am from my grandparents’ house which is way older than my cousins
PlayStation
