three percent Chinese?

when you
find out that your father's
father
wasn't really
his father,
and that some of the children
that came
out of your
grandmother
are from men other
than her husband,
and the fact that your
own father sailed
the seven
seas for thirty years,
a veritable
johnny apple seed
of DNA,
maybe,
just maybe, you aren't
who you thought you were.
you start to wonder
what's going
to come up
when you spit into the vial
and send it
off for an ancestry
evaluation.
