My DNA test

If you perform a DNA test
to understand better
my genealogy
you will find as my mother
poetry
and my father
acryclic.

For, I am constructed
of origami and rhyme;
and each cell in my body
is an unknown color,
speaking
in a stranger's voice -
Stitching together an aging fetus;
a mosaic
of multiple identities.

Populating my chromosomes
are brushstrokes and homonyms,
phonetics and similes,
and a galaxy of metaphors;
Giving me a definition
without gender or a race -
An olive skin,
eyes
the color of November leaves
desires diffuse as the morning mist
and a future
buried in art.
