Where I'm From by Lelalois Inspired by George Ella Lyon

I am from tumbleweeds, from armadillos and cacti, I am from thinking football is a religion. (The whole state of Texas stops on Sundays to worship the Cowboys.) I am from triple digit heatwaves, the body of lakes that pretend to be a beach where the mosquitos quietly dance in the summertime evenings. I am from a place of uneasy times- dreaming of my departure- as the tumbleweeds roll on the lonely dusty highway.
