I am from red:
My favorite color.
Tomato paste Spaghetti O’s,
The name of our marching band show.


I am from orange:
My mood.
Gooey Kraft Mac n Cheese,
Citrus juice allegedly curing acne.


I am from blue:
My shoes.
Crushed Alpenrose milk cartons,
Swim water polluted with chlorine.


I am from yellow:
My heritage.
Petting fat bumblebees,
The trophies that glow for being number one.


I am from white:
My jacket.
Boiled rice noodles.
My First Communion,
I am sorry and it’s okay.


I am from brown:
My eyes.
Sandwiches smeared with Nutella,
Dirt caked bicycle wheels.


I am from black:
My hair.
Beetles scuttling under the rock,
When I cheated on my first test.


I am from the Earth:
Homo sapien,
Child of God,
Student in training.
