Fortune Tellers : Life

written by Poet : EC


As so often before, pure misery in the morning
but doesn't that mean happiness in the evening?
If so, what a miracle when one feels miserable

To see three sparrows at the same time means something
wonder what, but hope it can counteract bites from an adder
not to speak of bankruptcy and a sudden death of love

The coffee-pot told of dire griefs, losses and no way out
the teabags promised prosperity and long life
but the stars told of false hopes and new misery

What a myriad of fortune tellers that we gave birth and impact
each of them claiming our attention and our trust
by doing so we earn what we get, misery and confusion
