• I am from the noisy widescreen TV
    From Hurley
    And the PS3
    I am from the attic, dark, scary, mysterious,
    and the feel of ants crawling on your hands
    I am from the proud willow tree,
    The myna birds
    I am from Christmas Arizona trips
    And black hair
    From Tonya and Mark
    And Yanai
    I am from the screeching volleyball courts
    And the basketball courts
    From, “Eat your vegetables!”
    And, “Don’t act like a two year old!”
    I’m from blazing Tempe, Arizona
    Sushi and chow mein
    I’m from the time when I got chased by a rabies cat
    That dark night dragged on
    I am from the storage box full of ancient and precious family faces.
