2024/Reagan -

I am from Bukchon Hanok Village,

From mugunghwa and Everland.

I am from the church under the cherry blossoms.

grass, sunrise, it tasted like frozen yogurt.

I am from the great wolf lodge

The towers

Whose dogs and cats I remember

As if they were my own.

I’m from Korean barbecue and Korean chicken,

From spicy rice cakes and Wendy’s.

I’m from the jets flying and the kids screaming,

From buses and wind blowing!

I'm from K-pop

With a hot and cold season

And ten creations I can draw myself.

I’m from a beach and picnic,

Sun and soft clouds,

From the homework lost

To the straight A(s),

Used to keep me awake.

Under my bed was a dandelions

Spilling purple paint,

A zoo of hope

To drift beneath my dreams.

I am from those moments-

In life before I ate-

Oranges fallen from trees.
