I Am From...

I am from the couch
From Netflix and pizza pouch
I am from wires running through walls like veins
Electrifying, buzzing, my TV frames
I am from the cactus in my room
That picks my finger and brings doom
I'm from Fortnite Fridays and open water swims
From Luke and Kate
I'm from Spaghetti Saturdays and Mexican Mondays
From "Stop being annoying!" and "Be quiet"
I'm from Christianity and Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I'm from Swan River shags
From Vegemite and Bunnings snags
