Where I'm from

I am from cars
From new places
From England, New York, California...
I am from suberbia
From acorn trees and gray streets
Paths I could walk down with my eyes closed

I am from dry chicken and hot Lipton tea
From Enya and U2
I am from prayers every night
And gatherings every Sunday
I am from phone calls and e-mails
From hugs and kisses

I am from Jones beach and Nassau Coliseum
From New York City new years and the LIRR
I am from Peter Pan and The Little Mermaid
From Blue's clues, Barney, Pokeman cards, and tamagachi
I am from boxes in the basement
Sealed to keep the memories
