Five of Spades and Meeting You Tonight.

Five of Spades and Meeting You Tonight

Once I left, I wandered home.

Dizzy and itchy eyed
(from playing with the cat I shouldn't have
instead of the cat I should have)
I, awe struck by the night,
was struck by spade and shovel on the ground-
five to be exact-
laying face down on the sidewalk;
risqué blue cover: face up.

I palmed it and kept it as my memento.

Who cares if it means bad luck to some fortune teller.

I'll make my own meanings as I please.
