"Cairo 2014"

I once submitted saliva, that's all I did.
I once found out it was only sand.

I once realized, even from the time of a kid
I bled North African blood, running blue - visions of  Pharoah's chariots, warriors stand

I realized one small cut - plasma dripping, satiating fertile Alabama land
I once found out it contained an illustrious, distant past - pyramids gleaming, Egyptian sand.

*Simple 3 stanza piece about taking a DNA test back in 2014 and discovering trace amounts of what people in the South would say is exotic concerning those results.
