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
