Auntie and Uncle History in Their Library

Auntie and Uncle history think about
Having children
But they’re never
In the present
Still their names imply family
They must have relatives
Though no DNA test
Can prove it
This is why they read so much
Confucius, Jefferson
Dostoevsky
It doesn’t matter who
“I felt that way once,”
They say
Running their fingers
Down the pages
