I Am From a Small Town

I am from crock pot dishes and gatorade bottles,

From long showers and cold water

I am from never being alone,

From screaming and laughing at the dining room table

I am from yellow leaves,

a deer and a squirrel in a lively wood

I am from red toes painted on the porcelain throne

I am from bonfires and boots,

tailgates on Friday nights

I am from spandex and sports bras,

black and white spotted balls

I am from duct tape and spit

I am from hairspray and Chuck Taylor’s

I am from a yellow lab,

From an old rabbit

I am from Luke Bryan blaring with the windows down,

I am from 13075 in a small town.
