i am from the ipad gaming away the night

the pixels like dancers on the screen

the levels going up until they hit 100

the extra lives gained by exp

 

i am from the dreams of others

my own goy

my families heart

and the kindness of others

 

i am from the kitchen

the pots and pans

the spices and smells

the oven baking till it pings

 

i am from the books taking me through a adventure

the library

the suggestions

the late nights reading

 

i am from the cats playing with there yarn, the hamsters eating there carrots, the dogs gnawing on there bone
