taking it too far

my neighbor found out

last week,

that she was a half of

one percent

Native American

she sent in her

spit to the Ancestry

web site

where they analyzed her saliva.

they found

a trace of DNA

linked to some people

who lived

in Arizona before it was

Arizona back in the 1600s.

she's blonde with blue

eyes and as white as flour,

i saw her the other

day in her back yard

wearing war paint

and a head dress of feathers.

she was

constructing a totem

pole and a teepee, she yelled

across the fence calling

me the white man

who stole her land.

then let out a loud war cry

that made the dog howl

and a flock of birds fly

out of a tree.

this could be trouble.
