I Am From
By: Kyle Cox
I am from cooktops
From pots and pans
I am from tan walls and vanilla scents
I am from the orchids
The oak trees whose long limbs I remember
I’m from athletes and runners
I’m from hiking and biking
And from camping
I’m from happiness and joy
And itzy bitzy spider
I’m from beaches
I’m from Corpus Christi and America
Turkey and pizza
I am from colorful picture hung on the wall.
