I am from laundry baskets
from Bounty paper towels and Up and Up
I am from the white tiled floors downstairs
Freezing, hard
It felt like ice under your feet in the winter
I am from the white roses
The aloe-vera plants
Green and a little bit slimy
I'm from the barbecues on the Fourth of July and flat noses
Strict Uncle Kenny and singer Cousin Kelly
And Aunt Jade (who's a little crazy)
I'm from the sneezes that always scare the daylights out of everyone nearby and
Staying way too long after the party's over
From "Don't let them bother you" and
"Can you just sit still?"
I'm from scientific evidence,
Letting what can be proven govern what is believed in

Where I'm From
