out of luck

she tells you
that she is tombstone
shopping, that
she needs
to go to north
Carolina
and look at few
that are on
sale, some already
inscribed
with names
and dates, but
those can be
ground down smooth
again,
and his name put
on. do you think
it's bad luck she
says. using another
person's tombstone?
no, you tell
her. the luck has
run out. it shouldn't
matter.
