African-American, Italian, Irish, Latino, Japanese, Danish,
Russian, Fairy,
Wait! What?
Elfin, Norwegian, English,
Wait a second!!
Fairy? Elf?
A race?
A gene?
Yes. Haven’t you seen them
once or twice?
On a crowded street?
In a quiet library?
That fair, fey, fairy
tilt in the smile,
that emerald gleam of eyes.
They are here, among us.
Don’t deny the fairy gene
just because their graceful race
is fast fading into misty past,
like Avalon in the fog.
