Where I'm from

I’m from many places and only one home,

I’m from unexpected farewells to bright hellos
I’m from bumpy rides round the track and the biggest fires I've ever seen.

From “Tomorrow is a new day to play” and “Sunday funday!”

From car rides eighty songs long to “Good morning, race fans!”
From frozen pizza and “Dinner is ready!”

I am from the greasiest Chinese fish frys and the richest chocolate cake,

From dirty driving to sandy sunscreen
from the sounds of crashing waves and the smell of high octane fuel.
from icy inclines on Christmas to boiling blacktop on independence day.

I am from sleeping in the movie theatre sets and reese's pieces

From a galaxy far far away and platform nine and three quarters.
From Planet Gallifrey to Point Place Wisconsin
From Niko Bellic and Alex Mason

I’m from seeing how far two wheels can take me and KitKat bars with energy drinks

I’m from picnic basket across the street to savory sandwiches two exits away
I’m from Cubby Nunu and Kirby, and moonlit rides in hot rods
too many houses… my family is my home.
