Where I am from                           

I am from white country churches 

and the opening exercises

I am from pesto covered spaghetti and prune juice 

Ninja Turtle birthday cakes and Ovaltine chocolate milk

I am from scarred knees and bumps on the head,

nails in the foot and a large four post bed

I am from  trips to Europe

and getting lost in Prague

I am from two fifty hundred

and Master, my stuffed dog

I am from collected batman,

and a Star Wars obsessed mind

I am from healed wounds with our Aloe Vera plant

and from my large walk in closet

I am from the cistern down the road 

and relays in the gym

I am from two dead dogs and a couple of fish,

some make believe dinosaurs and NFL Blitz

I am from peanut butter hotdogs, and masses of Mountain Dew

from chocolate pudding and a refrigerator coup

I am from the egg and sperm of my parents

but I come from the womb.
