“Where I’m From”

In my Youth Cultures class, we read some ‘Where I’m From’ poems, which describe not only the writer, but their roots and the roots of like-minded individuals…for extra credit, we were asked to write our own…it’s been a while since I posted any creative writing (this will change in the upcoming semester), so please to enjoy…

I am the living artifact

I am the hiss of a phonograph beyond its years

Born in the wrong time

Full of outdated knowledge and experiences
