I am from Macintosh
from Adobe and right-click
I am from the attic
small, bright, clay stains in the carpet
I am from the tree in the front yard
I am from the grass
filled with fallen crabapples
I am from alcoholism and eyeglasses
I am from ADHD and bad grades
I am from the Walkinshaws and the Murphys
Scotland and Ireland
I am from The Boar's Rock
I am from beer and cheese
I am from 'Goddammit Stuart' and 'go to your room'
I am from church every Sunday and Wednesday
from never quite fitting in
I am from mom's loss of both parents before age 19
from dad's substance abuse before age 13
I am from 12 years of birthday cards kept
