she was right half the time

she decided her life
by flipping a coin
into the air.
heads she goes here,
tails she goes there.
what school,
where to live,
who to date, who to
marry, what to eat,
or drink, or dress to wear.
the coin was always in
the air.
i asked her out for coffee
the other day,
and she said, maybe,
hold on
and threw the quarter
up before slapping
it down on her palm.
heads means yes,
she said.
and tails means no.
let's see.
