Genetics
/Trace the story of genetics
in our big blue eyes, far too knowing
for their age
Darting pupils as I pick up
each plastic car
place it in the bucket
My brother takes
each plastic car
and sets it back down
on the brown carpet
the artificial colors
too bright for our eyes
as we dance out the
story of our genetics
not knowing that doctors
would label our behavior as a
symptom
