Where I’m From

Alexis

San Francisco • 2016

  • I am from the Mexican culture.
    I am from the sweet corn tamales.
    I am from the sweet papayas. 
    I am from all the Mexican smells.
    I am from dancing puppets.
    I am from fresh cut peaches. 
    I am from red, white, and green.
    I am from Paul Revere. 
    I am from a black and white ball.

Brown feels like a sugary chocolate cake melting in your mouth.
