THIS IS WHERE

This is where we ate our beef brisket.
     In the basement of my hotel.
    The basement felt like a dark castle.
 
This is where I go to buy a melon desert.
     It tastes like a rich paste. 
     It smells of soap in the moist air.
 
This is where I remember my kindergarten.
     It is where I learned to read about the great warrior.
     He helped defeat the Japanese army.
 
This is my grocery store.
     It is where I bought Kyle, the silverfish
     He sadly died one week later.
