the gypsy next door

a gypsy woman moves
in next door
and plants a neon
sign in her yard.
it pulses bright
red and green.
she will read your
plam and tell you
your future,
if you have one
for a mere
twenty dollars.
for fifty you'll
get a full
reading plus
a back massage
by her assistant
candy.
she's a new age
gyspy wearing low
cut jeans and boots,
a button down white
shirt and a nice
casual red jacket.
i see her carrying
groceries in
when i get home
from work,
and she yells over,
hey, we're having
cornish hens tonight,
stop on by if you'd
like. we might play
a game of scrabble
too, unless you're
chicken. which makes
her laugh out loud,
showing her gold tooth.
