Helium
by Ed Werstein
Your parents were a couple of hot heads
blew up at the drop of a match
that nasty Hindenburg incident
the most famous of the many times
they lost control.
But they found their matchmaker
in the sun god, your namesake.
When hydrogen atoms get close
and start feeling good about each other
things heat up in a hurry.
The hotter it gets, the closer they get.
They fuck, they fuse,
and are destroyed by their own passion.
Passing on all of their parts and none
of their traits, they become something
completely different: you.
You lead a long lineage of nobility,
a calm inertia is your greatest asset.
You are uplifting, rising
to every occasion,
great fun at parties.
People lift their voices
and speak very highly
of you.
