I Am FromI am from my mothers mother, crashing between picket lines and bars on kitchen windows. I am from boxes left unpacked in new homes and dresser drawers inI Am From
one-night-stand motel rooms.
I am from the darkness of a classroom black board where some of our first questions were answered, and shoeboxes under your bed filled with unsent love letters.

This is her holding a cardboard sign and shoving it hard to the clouds with two thousand people at her side.
But really they are not there. Instead she breathes like cotton wool is stuck inside. It all falls out, every now and then --
when is the next poetry slam?
i miss you :} ((i am holing up until AP tests are through =_
