Me in Kearny Mesa; I in Linda Vista

I am from the Yum Yum Donut Shop, fingers sticky from a fluffy glazed donut.
From dusty BMX racing and loitering in Missile Park.
I am from tasty Asian culture and doing the funky chicken in Skateworld.
I am from Linda Vista.
From Lunar New Year Festival with dragon heads and sparklers and luscious Linda Vista
Community Park.
I am from the bustle of Little Vietnam and sipping cold and sweet drinks at the Boba Shop.
I am from the Nijiya Market and shopping through rows of foreign candies and premade meals.
From karaoke on Friday nights and Kearny Mesa Bowl, the sound of squeaky shoes and falling
pins filling the air.
I am from old Camp Kearny and 1940s racism.
I am from the success of Alan Tremel.
From the peace and quiet of Linda Vista Library and cheering on the Kearny Komets.
I am from Vien-Dong Supermarket and the festive Multi-Cultural Fair and Parade.
I am the Me in Kearny Mesa.
I am the I in Linda Vista.
