My life


I am from horses to loud noises

From my room to my local school

From memories in my brain to making more in our family game

I am from remote control to eating posole in my bowl

From eating quesadillas to bleeding rodillas

From earphones sounding like a live band

I am From shorties to hoarding

From cold moist dirt in between my toes to legos all over the floor

From smelly dog poop to washing up in the bathroom

I am from watching T.V. to cooking in the kitchen

From grandpa’s money and grandma's hug

From dares to my cousins and friends

I am from my own time to my mama’s lessons

From my phone to magic shows

From enchiladas to carne asada

I am from couches and reviewing my photo album

From tamales to catching animales 

From hot sauce to more sauce

I am from “me entiendes mendez” when my mom finishes a boy lesson

From “ o te explico federico” when I am confused

From Birria to my own vida
