i am from dhaka
bangladesh
from jostling crowds and hearing a million voices outside
i am from limerick
ireland
from rustic houses and quaint parishes
i am from wallingford
pennsylvania
from suburbia and inane boredom
from the college-genius who crashed weddings on weekends
the woman who is still unimpressed by sushi in japan
i am from feeling sad if you do
but wanting to make you laugh anyway
