I Came From (In the spirit George Ella Lyon)
I came from tall weeds
Trailer parks
Dirty street roads
Walks to the park
Hits and blood
Secondhand clothes
Chicken finger warm-up dinners
Bare feet
Old big wheels in the barn
Gardens
Lies
Lightning bugs and cold winters
Blankets on doors
No TV
No water
Bamboo fishing poles and satellite maneuvers
DVDs
Paper-to-pen
Music from the radio
Locked aspirations
Old pear trees
And landlines
Shame with every move
Old farm houses
Concrete blocks
Trailers
And duplexes
Semis
Truckstop diners
Auctions
Hammers
Mudholes and
Woods
Packs of Wave Lights
Mountain Dew cans
And mold
Belts
Sticks
Bruises
I came from trauma
From bad situation to another bad situation
I came from dirt
