Where I Am From
A Poem of Heritage

--
I am from laundry dried on the clothesline, Tropicana orange juice, and Johnson & Johnson’s baby oil.
I am from Vicks in the winter and school supplies bought at Woolworth before September.
I am from a three-story, green, attached house with a shed in the backyard that I wanted to make my room.
