To Be ~ Or Not To Be

Time for Poetics in the dVerse Poets Pub ~ Merril is hosting ~ the subject of "fate" is the direction we are heading ~ how we interpret fate, how fate impacts our lives ~~

Fate it seems wears a lab coat

scribbling notes in the 

margins of my chromosomes

chuckling over coffee with 

Madame Destiny ~ betting on whether 

I'll get my Dad's cholesterol or

my Mother's luscious brunette locks

DNA that sneaky old scroll

rolled up tight like a military tent

passed along like fruitcake

nobody wants ~ but everyone takes

a bite of

I am a walking talking heirloom

fair skin and blue eyes ~ both

second-hand traits

proof that nature loves

a remix and

fate has a sense of humour!
