I’m from football frenzy
Everyone is screaming about calls
Sweating in the scorching hot summer
And pain when you try to catch the ball in winter.

Where I’m from, fried rice or nachos means a good day
From having it at parties, for lunch, and for breakfast
and from fresh for dinner to leftovers after having sushi.

Where I’m from, I’m the youngest of me and my brother wrestling
And me losing because he is older and stronger
And me being annoyed.

I’m from walks in the city
Fun new history facts from Dad
Ken Burns’ documentaries
I’m from dirty streets and subways
Expensive small houses
Infinitely tall skyscrapers
Where are you from?
