I am from hockey sticks
from Movie World and my living room
I am from Japan and Australia
and from ‘Yo handsome boy’
I am from a mountain on my cap
I am from baseball, ice hockey and boxing
and drag, Beatles, 80’s, Nivana and Champion
I am from Gina and Ko
and from hamburgers, curry, and ramen
I am from those moments when I score in ice hockey.
I am Ren.
I am from the couch under my bed
from bottle caps to the broken playground
I am from a happy household
and from ‘who’s a good boy?’
I am from the old and strange tree in the park
whose footprints are engraved in…
I am from videogames
and electro-jazz
I am from late nights and scary movies
and from chicken chorizo and baked beans
I am from those moments when you reach deep sleep
I am Astrid
