I Am From The Land Of The West,

From Purple Amethyst And Dogwoods.

I Am From The Old North State Under The Nice Warm Sun,

Where The Air Smelled Like Burning Firewood.

I Am From Barbeques

The Taste

Whose Cheesy Burgers I Remember

As If They Were My Own.

I Am From The Clicking Of Keyboards And Computer Mouses,

From “MEDIC!” And “Spy!”

I’m From “Take A Break.” And “It’s Time To Get Off.”

From “The Enemy Has Taken Our Intelligence!” And Sniper Bots.

I’m From The World Of Red And Blue

With A Bit Of Pen And Paper

And Ten “Backstabs” I Can Do Myself.

I’m From “Do You Have Any Homework?” And “I Love You!.”

Cut Content From The Game And No Major Updates.

From The Friends Lost To The PCS,

Used To Keep Me Sane.

Under My Bed Was A Purple Briefcase

Spilling Memories Of A Distant Past Of Dandelion Fun

To Drift Beneath My Dreams.

I Am From Those Moments-

Doing Before I Think-

A Cut Branch Taken From The Family Tree.
