pour some sugar on me

i finally
get back the results from
the test tube
of spit i sent in
to find out about my family
tree.
they trace my
genealogy
back to Brooklyn,
and it stops there.
it's not
good.
mostly criminals,
and court
jesters, charlatans.
a long line
of losers
and car salesmen.
prison guards and inmates
in asylums.
maybe it was just
a bad bunch 
of spit that day.
i try again, but this
time
throw a little sugar in.
