Where I’m From

I am from hoodies, from Saucony and Converse.

I am from the trees and mountains.

I am from Tom and Jerry, The Big Bang Theory, and the Olympics.

I am from The Mentalist and Alphas, from Old Spice and Prentice-Hall, and from TNT We Know Drama.

I am from The Independent and Anderson Cooper.

From shapes and

language. I’m from Scotland,

from the stars, snow, trails, and pencils.

I am from juevos rancheros and the quick slider.

From the occasional band concert but the forever melody, the hidden treks through land close to home and heart.

I am from alternative and Rise Against, from A Lack of Color

and Thinking, That’s All.

I am from the internet and a sea of sound.

I am from rubik’s cubes, life’s questions, and endless thought.
