stupid english assignment
I am from endless books,
Acoustic guitars,
And a full pantry.
I am from a beautiful flower garden,
Circling the yard with an array of intermixing colors.
I am from dog toys and tiki torches,
I am from grass and pavement.
I am from Franklin School,
I am from pizza market,
The sweet slumber of West Newton at night.
I am from Uncle Chris,
I am from Road Island with the Hydes.
I am from Galen, talking to me every year.
I am from “Get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight.”
I am from “I’m not in the mood for this right now!”
from “I love you, goodnight sweetie.”
I am from huge thanksgiving turkeys,
from tiramisu and mashed potatoes,
From food that makes my mouth water
Every time I think about it.
I am from under my bed,
I am from in my closet,
I am from my computer and from my kitchen drawers,
Hiding little pieces of paper
With little secrets
And little emotions.
