Mix and Match



Chromosomally, we are
a random handful:
toss of traits,

propensities
and tendencies
which conjure up

our destinies –
a kind of je ne sais
exactly what we’ll be

except that somehow
it proceeds from
an array of DNA.

But aren’t we a treat
when it comes down
to serving up what’s

on the tray! Unconsciously
attending to genetic duty,
how we pick and patch

and trick and catch
and mix and match
it into beauty!
