WHERE I'M FROMLa La invited me to do this activity, and I'm really glad I did. Try it, you'll like it, hey Mikey!
WHERE I’M FROM
I am from whiskey and teachers, from scarred knees and willow trees.
I am from juniper, St. Thomas, milkshakes and Dunkin' Donuts.
I am from marriage and children, step-families and pearls.
I am from Eastwood and Reed, Uncle Sam and dogs named Kitty.
I am from hearing aids, chest walls, emphysema and jail.
I am from murder and babies, lies and omissions.
I am from college and masters and teaching the poor.
I am from flunking and passing, Bonzai plants and country fairs.
I am from Prineville and poverty, sororities and Ivy League.
I am from valleys and Catholics, Buddhists and BLTs.
I am from cages and braces, smoke and keys.
I am from acronyms, diagnoses, knowing and ignorance.
I am from homos and heteros, does and don'ts.
I am from intelligence to wisdom, from right to left.
