Where I’m From

—a composite poem from Mrs. Murphy’s senior English class at
Marion Pritchett School

I am from humid air,
from tamales during Christmas.

I’m from pruning and picking,
from the smell of lavender and pine.
I am from Slimfast and black and white coffee, strong and sweet.

I am from yellers and emotional women,
from the cactuses my mom grew.

I’m from fried chicken, potatoes and cornbread,
from Tomiko’s sushi and rice.

I am from the west and the east,
no where near the ocean.

I am from my mother, who raised me alone.
