Iā€™m from mud wars and revolting grass fliesĀ 

Hot days getting to 34 degrees, then dropping to -4 degrees.

Iā€™m from playing soccer in the frost to school inside

on scorching hot days.

 

Iā€™m from lightning shattering glass

And the rumbling thunder of the tanker collecting milk.

Ghosts slamming doors andĀ  harmonicas playing at midnight.

 

Iā€™m from ā€œBuzz offā€ and ā€œsoonā€Ā  – taking hours,Ā 

andĀ  ā€œWhat’s all this stuff?

Anything on the floor is going in the bin.ā€

 

Iā€™m from Dip hill road, Tokarahi.
