even church people
want to know
what the future holds
that’s why sales
of tarot cards
are on the rise
and rune stones
Ouija boards and
crystal balls
one year into Covid
and we read
our horoscopes everyday
plot our star charts
sew old socks
into voodoo dolls
with button eyes
send messages
to the newly dead
save the bones
from last night’s
KFC to practice
throwing and reading them
search the internet
for someone to read
our tea leaves
for a different pattern
to turn up
