Where im from


I am From Banana 

From Toilet paper and Lotion

I am from the blue round bourbon

I am from Rose bud

The oak whose long gone limbs I remember 

As if they were my own

I'm from gatherings and browns

From Amber and Toni

I'm from love and happiness

And from sillines

I'm from Hyperness and Fearfulness

And Sorry is a sign of weakness

I'm from Dennys

I'm from Black RiverFalls and Poland

And goulash and Polish Sausage

From dancing in the moonlight

After the wedding,

Throwing leaves everywhere

Outside the house

Thats where im From
