Where I'm From

I am from 4B pencil,
from the white canvas and colorful fabrics
I am from my Grandfather's cozy villa,
olive green leaves, white thin fur stuck on my blanket,
roughness of my grandmothers' palm through my chick,
my moms' warm voice calling my name

I am from the huge willow tree that attaches the cold lake which tickled my face,
rose Sharon, long wooden sticks that my brother used it as his secret sword,
the tall pine tree, deep red opium-puppy,
a purple olives that was always eaten by the bugs

I am from Sunday afternoon sleep,
doing laundry with the socks always inside out,
from Woojin and Sook and Keedong,
I am from the idea of forget about what bad happened and carry on,
and do what you truly want to do

From eat the vegetables evenly or else you will not see the prince,
don't lie other wise a tiger might fetch you
and take you to a deep, dark cave in the woods alone

I am from respect your parents and the adults,
you have a lot to learn from them

I am from the foggy house in Buenos Aires,
Jaewoo Kwak who was the first General in Korea
frozen grapes and boiling black tea

From my moms' old story about how she got a scar on her wrist
when she was trying to catch a frog,
the tears of my brother because the moon kept following him in the sky,
the power ranger play with my brother and I in a pool defeating
a tube from our dad

I am from the small ice-cream shop next to my school,
the the key board of my phone, texting with my friends
a quiet playground next to my house,
a bookstore filled with a sound of turning the page,
and the smell of my moms' old car.

I am from the andromeda, my heart is from the moon

I am from 2010, the most happiest time in my life that will never pass in my heart
I am from 2011, the mot depressing time in my life that I wished it will soon pass by
