Where I’m From

I am from The Show-Me State.

From The Last Frontier and Sic Semper Tyrannis

I am from the land under the purple aurora

It tasted like white snow

I am from the water with the gators

Whose hot, white sand I remember

As if it were my own.


I am from Chief Master Sergeant and Stay-at-Home

From the Defender of the States and the Protector of Me

I am from the happy

And the funny

From “Do you have homework?’ and “Get up!’

I am from Rainbow 6 Siege

With a controller in my hand

And ten levels I can reach myself.


I am from Español and 한국인,

Puzzled and cultural changes

From the friends lost to the one with me now

To the toy cars I used to keep in my room.

Under my bed was a crate spilling Hot Wheels

A past time of mine

To drift beneath my dreams.

I am from those moments -

Praying before I eat.

I am a dandelion away from the family tree.
