I grew up in a place called Jamul
There was a man who sold strawberries
I still remember
and a place we ate at before all of my school plays
where we ate enchiladas
I had a pinata at all of my birthdays
had friends that did flamenco dancing after school
and learned to swear in Spanish at the middle school
and the fruit stand we sometimes got things at when
we didn’t have money
played Selena on the radio
Spent so much time thinking about getting out
and all I think about is Jamul
