I am from

A small tin box, over cinder blocks and vinyl siding

I am from
Analog recordings of distorted guitars
and the confused beatings of snare drums

I am from
Comic book dialogue and stylized violence

I am from
The impoverished sectors of Midgar
And the jovial parades of the Millenial Fair

I am from
Contrived horror movie plots
and post-apocalyptic rambling

I am from
Shameless adoration of professional sports
And lackluster intiative to perform said sports

I am from
The Salinas valley, far from a small, tin box
And closer to Eden.
