LUCKY

I’m not exactly a lucky person but I feel I may be lucky. I mean I never have been actually very lucky but I’m lucky in that I’m not very unlucky either. At least not very unlucky. Like I might be inclined to buy something the week before the price is halved or get my house insulated the year before the tax-break or buy the house at the height of the market just before it crashed but I’m not unlucky. I’m actually quite lucky. Not that I ever win raffles or lotteries, not lucky like that. Or not lucky like being in the right place at the right time or having fortuitous accidents or lucky breaks. I’m not the sort of person fortune smiles on exactly. If I was going up a hill and Fortune was coming down I’d probably glance over. Fortune might be busy or preoccupied but I’d certainly glance over I think. There are different kinds of lucky. Like I think if I did meet Fortune coming down the hill when I was going up I’d know it was Fortune like I wouldn’t just trudge by. I’d probably stop and look after it a while. I’d probably think about it all for quite a while, even when I got to Wholefoods or wherever I was going up the hill to go. I wouldn’t just blow it off or worse: not recognize it was Fortune in the first place. I’m lucky in that way. I know Fortune when I see it I think.

I MAY BE PSYCHIC

I may be psychic. I have no actual proof and I don’t know for sure but I may be. Sometimes I may be just be standing there and I get a feeling I may be psychic. It’s not exactly the same as being psychic it’s more of a feeling that I may be psychic. It’s almost more of a prospective thing if you know what I mean. I mean there are no actual incidents of me being psychic. Like I have never actually predicted anything or had to warn anyone or known for sure. But I have got feelings about things and I do think that maybe sometime in the future things will kind of clock into place. Psychics are probably really ordinary and earthy and have wiry black hair and play hockey. I’m not like that but I do seem to be the sort of person who might be psychic. I mean I have that side to me I think. I suppose I’m more of a tentative psychic. I might have a hunch about someone. Like if I see a happy photograph or something. I might have a hunch that like that photo might be their obituary. I might think that. Oh I never know if it comes true or not I never heard but you know the way you have a feeling about yourself, that you’re the sort of person who might know things or feel things or be psychic and that may be borne out some day. I feel kind of on the cusp of that. Actually I am on the cusp you know, between Cancer and Leo. I think that’s why I’m an emigrant. That and being the fifth child. The fifth daughter actually. I think that’s why I’m interdisciplinary too. It’s a curse and a blessing I guess. Maybe I’ll never blossom into full-blown psychic but I think it’s there somewhere, at some level, you know.

FORTUNE
fortune came callin
but i was at the fair
went there with Miss Fortune
on account of Folly's dare

fortune came a callin
but I was at the sound
looking for the pirates cave
and a giant treasure mound

thanks
made me think of:

Fortune comes a crawlin', calliope woman, spinnin' that curious sense of your own.
