The extremes of who, what I am
DNA, culturally, nature/nurture
all fun to puzzle piece together
What my forebearers did, what
was done to them, is historically
recorded, reported, unresolved
My detective skills sharpened
with time, experience, dumb luck
can be broken down precisely:
Having descended from seafaring
Vikings and diaspora Ashkenazi
my wanderlust is DNA encoded
So, also, my perpetual state of
wondering: should I stop now and
pillage, or simply keep wandering.
