Tamarisk
A tamarisk isgrowing, just growing, in the
silence of the dawn.
I am From...
I am from small legos on the floor,The nice, soft, flowery carpet,
Big plasma flat screen tvs,
Four-hundred dollars worth of computers,
And a brown wooden table.
I am from a very sandy sand box,
A very small tree house,
And a very sturdy ball wall.
I am from a very foody JJ&Fs,
A very funny Klutz,
And a very nice bike store.
I am from Sean,
Mike with gray hair,
Maggie from Ohio,
And Jean who smells Sean's armpits after his shower.
I am from tomato-basil pizza
that tastes like tomato with cheese,
Sushi with cucumber and salmon
that reminds me of things you find at a party.
I am from Peter who is always willing to talk,
Sumit who helps me make bee stings,
Chinmay who is willing to play games,
And Austin who can always think of something to do.
I am from "Always do your best,"
"If you're going to do it, be happy about it,"
"If you do it now, it will be over with,"
and "If you do something for someone else,
they will do something nice for you."
