I Am From...

I am from Doug and Debborah, Owen and Donna, and Adele and Paul
From St. Louis and from the open waters of Silver.
from the freezing winters and hot summers.
I am from deer hunters, and fish catchers.
I am from corn flake chicken and homemade vegetable soup.
I am from light-heartedness, humor, and generosity
I am from "inside or out", "ask your father", and "When i was younger..."
I am from the long, boring Catholic masses, eating the bread, and drinking the wine.
From teachers, acountants, writers, and singers.
From Black Label skateboards and Pokemon cards
From Super Nintento, Sega, and Xbox.
I am from Weiner dogs and chihuahuas.
I am from finding myself through music.
From not knowing if i should say something, but saying it anyway.
I am from not regrets.
