I am from Sundried tomatoes
From Maybelline mascara and the Wet Brush.
I am from the cute house on the corner
average, beautiful,
It tasted like overwhelming love.
I am from the tulips in the front yard,
the roses in the backyard
beautiful and colorful.
I'm from the early Sunday dinners and loud conversation,
from Anthony and Michael and Kristina.
I'm from the we need to always be close and communicate and the always look out for each other.

I am from the big important Italian flag and
staying humble.
I'm from the concept of god is real,
he has a hand in everything you do.

I'm from Long island and a big Italian family
Spaghetti and Mozzarella,
From the tub my dad fell in saving lives in a fire
the war my poppy fought in.

I am from the big photo albums in my basement tv stand piling up photos.
I am from Bare and Calabria Italy.
