Lawrence, Kansas

I just got back from a quick trip to Kansas for my cousin's high school graduation. I had a wonderful time, but it is nice to be back into my routine. Here are a few snapshots from my trip!

Where I’m From
2009

I am from classical,

and jazz,

and eighty-eight keys.

I am from umbrellas,

and rain-boots,

splashing in tiny seas.

I am from bright lights,

and buildings,

crowding the sky.

I am from the never ending blue,

circling and winding,

dancing so free.

I am from sunflowers,

kissed by honeybees,

crisp white linens blowing in the breeze.

I am from cotton,

and wheat,

howdys and yall’s.

I am from dancing,

and singing,

at the top of my lungs.

I am from paintbrushes,

and canvas,

messes and masterpieces.

I am from elite crowded halls,

name brand bags,

so many made-up faces.

I am from restless crowns,

lining the horizon.

I am from four spaces,

plus five lines.

I’m whole note, half note,

some rests in between.

My life is legato,

at times it’s staccato.
