I’m from oversized hand-me-downs
from Kerbey Lane queso and secret graffiti
I am from basil growing right on my front porch
and loud music from my sister’s room
I am from the prettiest bluebonnets
whose petals were as delicate as glass
I am from ratty old Barbie dolls
I am from Terracina and Rahn
I am from Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves
and from stunting in the living room
I am from “wake up, eat oatmeal, repeat”
I am from “be quiet” and “calm down”
from Sunday Sauce and pizzelles
from climbing over the fence at the track
and from dancing in the street in the rain
I am from those moments spent with my family
That I will never forget
