Where I'm From MAG
April 29, 2021
I’m from the smell of rubber gloves
and the lumber department of Lowe’s.
I’m from aspiring to be a mechanical engineer.
I’m from apple picking at Eckert’s Farm,
and trout fishing at Meramec Springs
during the weekend.
I’m from coming home after a hard day
and watching Adventure Time.
I’m from Cookies n’ Cream Hershey's bars.
I’m from lumpia and pancit,
bratwursts and burgers.
I’m from the adventures in the woods
with brothers and friends.
I’m from the dusty picture book sitting
in the closet,
full of good memories.
