WHERE I AM FROM

I am from shag carpet
From McDonald's and Barbie
I am from the clay in the backyard.
Gray, granite
It felt like concrete.

I am from the grapefruit bush,
The orange tree
Whose fruit only appeared after being threatened with extinction.

I am from homemade donuts and quick tempers
From Algers and guymons
I'm from the eat-too-much at thanksgiving and the watch Monday night football

From clean your plate! And practice the piano!

I'm from I believe the Bible to be the word of god and families can be forever.

I'm from California and England
From dad's potatoes and steak.
From my grandfather's wooden leg,
The afghans crocheted by my grandmother.

Upstairs in various plastic tubs,
Lives evidence of a past life,
Unorganized and cluttered.

I am from the carefree ocean--free as a breeze--
Beating toward the shore.
