Where I'm From

I am from the rice that i eat everyday,

from milk and cereal

I am from the canyon behind my fence.

(brown, dirty, and smelled like plants)

I am from the many types of vegetable plants in my garden

the palm tree that grows along side with me

I am from Chinese gambling and messed up teeth

from Tedrous and Andy

I am from the procrastinators and the take off your shoes when you get inside

From if you dont do the right thing, you'll visit the devil

I'm from a Christian family that never goes to church

I'm from America but with Chinese blood and ancestry running through me

From the watermelons and honeydews my mother threw down the balcony to scare people

to the words my uncle wrote in his bedroom wall 

All throughout my hous were pictures of family

Some that I meet everyday

Others that I never laid eyes on

The people I loved and cherished

Who left me when I was young

The ones that make me proud of who I am

I am 高百生
