the fortune teller

i go see
the gypsy for a reading,
to see what my future
holds,
although
i don't believe
in any of it,
and think it's all hogwash,
but she amuses
me with
her crystal ball and deck
of cards, the way
she opens my hand
to read my palm.
oh, it's you again, she
says when i come
in and sit down.
you're older now aren't
you? much older.
i see you have a cane now.
this shouldn't take long.
