Description
I am from the Lilac bush,
its purple flowers lasting but a week.
I am from the Japanese Maple,
pitch black in spring, minty green in autumn.
I am from the YMCA,
summer walks with Mom and Dad.
I am from sandbox playdates,
and Friends and Neighbors.

I am from complications,
from stomach pains and hurricanes.
I am from black eyes on the slide,
and bee stings on the eye.
I am from fake ghosts,
and cousins that try to convince.
I am from Smash Mouth and Star Wars,
from helping and extra homework.
I am from losses and gains,
from little kids and companions.

I am from rumors and sick days,
medical maladies and magick.
I am from addictions and disease,
sadomasochism and sleepless nights.
I am from growing up and immaturity,
from Roman Myths and Roman Catholic.
I am from 42 and feeling blue,
from hesitation and inspiration.
I am from home remedies,
from conflicting interest and secrets well hid.

I am the branches on both sides of the telephone wire.
