I am From…

By Timo N.

 I am from my bed, like a zombie from the dead

From iMacs and Selmer Saxophones

I am from the classroom

The lefsa

I am from the cedar, always in my view

The grass whose green blade was so nice to cut

I’m from travels and weirdos

From Ken and Gail

I’m from non-communication and moving

And from eating well

I’m from answers and YOU ARE AWESOME to Ole Svenson

I’m from summers in Minnesota

I’m from San Diego and Noraway

From meatballs and bread

From my grandma in a far away land

And a bathroom

A wavy quilt, a piece of art

On the wall, for all to see
