I am from TV
From fabuloso and dove hand soap
I am from the small looking house on the corner of a street that smells like fall fell from heaven
I am from the poinsettias in my window
The rose bush in my front yard
Whose sticks I stepped on stabbed my foot
I’m from late nights on christmas eve and “who can hold their breath the longest?”
From Jack and Emily
I’m from biting nails and yelling
And from consequences for talking back
I am from don’t suck your thumb or your teeth will fall out and leave me alone i’m playing my games
And your worth it
I’m from ham on thanksgiving
I’m from Minnesota
And from saying what we are thankful for on thanksgiving
I’m from hey buddha belly and I wanna squeeze you in two pieces
I’m from Emily Ann Parsons
