i am from trampled brown paper bags left over from drunken stupors
i am from the smell of freshly cut grass wafting in the air on daddy's day off
i am from lost watches that can't tell time
i am from the comfort of favorite pj's and a blanket
i am from homemade ice cream, okra, cornbread, banana pudding, and pepsi
i am from church hats and easter speeches

i am from long days and airplanes
i am from daddy's "little girl" and momma's "ladybug"
i am from fresh lemonade at a family barbeque
i am from "Askew" family reunion shirts one size too big
i am from "puddy ruddy" and "fat momma she is so fat" and nicknames
i am from fish who drown and the calming sound of a tank that needs more water

A word doesn't make something great. "It" has to be great to begin with.

i am tired of the word "awesome."i don't get excited.
