Made-up Name

If you have a nun in the family 

Who gardens unveiled

Does genealogy hard

Is only a cousin,

Is actually a second cousin, 

Actually the genealogy was useless, 

Actually we don't know who we are, 

We don't know how we know this nun,

Nuns all have fake names, 

She's an ex-nun, 

When did she have the time, 

Is she alive, 

Why uncover some things and not others, 

Why appear suddenly in America, 

Why do we trust this ex-nun,

Who are we,

There is no America, 

There are no nuns on the other side, 

The Protestant side, 

The (shudder) side, 

No nuns who gardened unveiled,

Once wore a bikini,

Though it's so cold up there, 

If you have a family, 

Who are they,

Did they melt themselves away,

Or were melted, 

I hate this country, 

It's love for

Contextless beings,

Excommunicated for seeking self

Through ancestor,

Or wearing a bikini, 

And for what, 

It makes no sense, 

The why's are all missing, 

And it's a privilege to wonder

Who you are
