Where I'm From

I am from purple Easter bonnets, from Entenmann's coffee cake and mom's meatloaf.


I am from the blue house with the yellow shutters and the big picture window to watch the school buses go by.

I am from the azalea bushes, the dogwood trees, and the mall.

I am from Sunday dinners and substance abuse, from Marty and Billy and big brothers who leave too soon.

I am from the waste not, want not and the sting of a quick wit.

From "eat it or wear it" and "you are my favorite little sister."

I am from Missouri Synod Lutherans and a cult leader bent on mind control.

I'm from Lawn Guyland and Brooklyn, homemade cheesecake and fresh rye bread from the local Bakery.

I am from faded photo albums, rose colored crystal, service flags in the window and embroidered memories of lives gone by.
