Where I Am From

I am from
math, music, and school
I am from
getting lost in a book
I am from
everything
from apples
to zebras
I am from pencils

I am from
playing basketball
and reading signs
I am from
4-302,
friends,
neighbors,
cats and dogs.

I am from
backpacks,
scissors and markers

I am from
computers and
remote and
X’es and ’s
I am from
tables and
poems

I am from
katty and nametags
I am from
chairs and
bookshelves
I am from
understanding,
and misunderstanding,
and emotion

I am from
science and trees,
and grass,
and bees
I am from
the ocean

I am from
Gonzo and Camilla
and Animal and Kermit
I am from
5 days a week
and rules
and the Land of Stories
I am from
air and space
the unknown
and learning
I am from
spaetzle
and tacos and
I am from
everywhere.
