I am from soft blankets
From pack it’s and cheese sticks
I am from the Gatorade filled fridge
and the smell of cleaning detergent
I am from the itchy grass
I’m from the cedar tree who I am allergic to but I do not care
I’m from poker and brownies
From Gus and Charli
I’m from thanksgiving basketball games and kindness
I am from dealing with it and school first
I am from lazy days
I’m from Austin, Texas
From garlic bread and French toast
I am from dusty old books on the shelf who’s spines can barely support the pages.
