Where I’m From – Zepeda
I am from an elmo blanket
from Nesquick
and oreos
i am from crowded apartment
marker stained walls
and small tv from the 80,s
as you walked in tired from walking up 3 flights of stairs
you see a 26 twenty six year old mom raising 2 boys
with the help of a very caring grandma
and a teenage like aunt
with no father
it felt safe
Liz and Alma and Samantha and Tristan
i am from the gamers
and the movie nerds
from the annual plot lucks
and christmas celebrations
from “i que ninio!”
and “seby”
im from Texas and Spain
green salsa and tortillas
from my grandma selling fruits in mexico to buy a plane ticket to texas to see her
daughters first born son
from the finger great grandpa lost
from the family that loves me very much
