Where I'm From

Based on

I am from the normal,

Though I live next to fantasy,

And from the forest to the beach,

The caves,

And the cape.

I am from the evenings,

Filled with sounds of a guitar,

By others and by me,

And the sounds of crickets,

Tree frogs and cicadas.

I am from the taste,

Of tripe and pasta,

And on the cape,

Clams, shrimp, lobster, and oysters.

I am from the long days,

Spent in the wild,

Camping, caving, hunting, rafting, and fishing,

Roasting marshmallows over a fire,

And shrimp scampi on a stove.

I am fromt he coast of Massachussetts,

With the sea breeze at my nose,

And sand and salt water at my feet,

To catching clams and hunting co-hogs.

And most importantly,

I am from family,

The Scalzis and the Rosses,

The Caseys and the Garys.
