I Am From

I am from footballs
From Adidas and Armando's
I am from the messy garage
Clumped, grey, dusty
I am from frangipanis
Fragrant, yellow, white
I'm from Christmas cheesecakes and broad shoulders
From Uncle Craig and Ken
I'm from the nail biters and the nail pickers
From "An African village could survive on that" and "You'll get square eyes"
I'm from Perth, Australia and Oxford, England
English muffins, custard
From swimming in frozen bathers in almost frozen lakes
