☢Where I'm From☢

I am from the rainbow colored fruites, dangling high atop the green trees
From Aloe and Bello, I am from the fragrant room after room of spices, sweet and potent
They made your nose sing with joy

I am from the massive mango trees, their trunks so thick and tall
With the golden Prize at the top whith which no apple could compare
Short bushes that kept small berries hidden between their leaves

I am from brown and green coco-nuts, baggy pants and new trends
 From Clove and Clovers, Chicks and Chickens
I am from the takers and the makers

I am from "Ayo and La-we-go"
From "Peace be with you" and "Amen"
I am from Save-a-lot all the way to Astaphans and Nassif.

The Massive structures still so vivid to me in my mind inside and out
From the dim neon lights and scattered yellow plastic bags and night
Blowing in the wind as if pulled by a phantom

From myths and legends of witches and monsters
I am from the locked doors and paranoid folks
Who hide themselves between sheets.

In the Cupboard  lay a dusty relic
When opened spills countless memories, old faces and new experiences
