I Come From

I come from Montana,

and I love Montana.

I come from friends whom I'm unworthy of,

Whom I admire, even love.

I come from two liberal parents,

and every political leaning in existence,

and a grand literary tradition,

Varying states of physical condition,

A rabid consumption of sports media

and television unsummarized on Wikipedia,

But why?

I am going to teach,

and I love to teach.

I am going up the socioeconomic ladder

Among people who pretend that doesn't matter.

I am headed for adulthood delayed

With the sense of humor for adulthood denied.

Perhaps I am going outside.

Though I still exist as a physical obstacle,

I am otherwise fading away,

But why?
