I am from Shoes
from Puma and Nike
I am from the Brick house next to the buildings
I am from the bright flower
the source of my family
I am the only American-born Bengali from the family
and get so much love for being the only son
from the Rahman
and Miah’s and Begums
I am from the hard workers
and sleepless nights
From the hustlers
and poverty
I am from the religion of Islam
I’m from Bangladesh
where we enjoy samosa’s and roti’s
From the Family that started Bilash in Bangladesh
the biggest clothing store in the city
and the way it started from one father and the way it passed down
I am from the start of hustlers and businessmen.
