Jamul

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
