bad luck

you have no
use
for superstition.
no black
cat, or ladder
opened
on the sidewalk.
you have no
rabbit's foot
to rub,
how lucky was
that rabbit
anyway.
broken mirrors
don't bother
you, nor does stepping
on a crack.
the only one you
truly
believe in is
throwing onto
a bed, a hat.
if done it's a
promise
of bad news.
