a Baskin and Robbins world

we need to know
where we've come from,
it's the new age
of science. the vial
of spit tells all.
are we
the outlier,
the bastard son, who was dad,
really?
or mom.
are they part Indian,
or Italian,
Scandinavian?
is there a smidgen
of Polynesian blood in me?
please tell me i'm not
related to Charles Manson,
or Richard Nixon,
or Zsa Zsa Gabor.
what island
was our blood spilled
on,
where did these blue
eyes
come from.
these long legs, these
red curls?
Adam and Eve must have
been wild
looking people,
to propagate this varied
world.
