Something to Think About

My life……

            I’m from a broken stereo

                                                            Maybe a sony?

            A small School

                                    Multiple small schools

            I’m from moving and change

                                                            New House have their quirks

I’m from ancestors

                                    All over the world

               From ADD. This accursed ability to be easily distracted.

Generous Grandparents.            They gave me love and money and knowledge

I am from the woods behind my fathers house.  

                                                                                    Peaceful and fun

From exploration of old buildings

                                                            Smelling of mildew

Fireworks that go off to soon

                        Ohhs and Ahhs

            Mountain bikes. Made of steel.

I am from the city noisey and busy

                                                            The abandoned steel mill.

                                                            Old and forgotten.

            Snow that chilled my bones.

                                    My cousins and best friends

Trees in which I placed junky tree houses.

                                                            They tend to fall apart.

From books new

                        Or old that have yellowed.

                                    Dreams that scared me.

I am from electricity

                                    The force that captured my mind.

From fire, that has keep and and my ancestors warm.

From gasoline that generated the power

                                                To take me far places.

Movies are part of courage.

                        I am from carpentry and cars,

                                                            My Dad

            Graphics and photography

            My Mom

I am from my grandpa’s farm

                        No animals,

                                    Just a fun place to go.

My friends

            Our adventures, funs

                                    Painful fights

                        I am from technology   empowering my creativeness

Football at recess,

                                    Getting tackled on pavement hurts.
