I am from the sun gleaming in the glass on the door, making a rainbow
pattern on the wall.
I am from Marco’s bark in the morning, he wants to go out.
I am from the fresh air smacking me in the face, not enjoyed for so long as
Marco scrambles to get down the front steps to pee.
I am from all of the adults outside sipping wine and laughing at each other,
I say hi.
I am from the smell of bacon and eggs when I walk back in the house,
everyone is woke now.
I am from the smell of bacon and eggs when I walk back in the house,
everyone is woke now.
I am from my mother’s sweet kisses in the morning and it being
counteracted by the saltiness of the eggs and bacon, I love it here
I am from me putting my clothes on for church dragging my feet because
an old episode of Saved By The Bell had my attention.
I am from my uncle snoring like a bear after his usual nights on the town,
Roseanne plays but he isn’t watching.
I am from home

Let Your Mind Break Dance
Shine bright
burn their eyes
Don’t be afraid
make yourself proud.
Open your wings fly
away
don’t capture your thoughts
let them play.
Be free.
Let your imagination shout
aloud
don’t stand by, stay on top
of the cloud.
Let the pen be your
key to all locked doors.
Let your mind break dance
on every single
floor.
The paper is the freedom
from all things
that enslave you.
Open your hands and let your words
take you.
