Biologically I am a mixture more and less
Complicated than I claim to be
Culturally
My mother my father
They have their own identities
My phenotype is another story entirely
Where I grew up and how
Who my ancestors were
And why they died
All Conspire to define me
In ways that are beyond even me.
Some Good Done
In ways that are beyond even me....
