Fortune Cookie


What an absurd prospect

Expecting you to give me any details

Leaping to the conclusion I’m a weaver of answers that could be pulled like a slip of paper tucked inside an eat-while-you-pay-your-bill afterthought treat


Feverishly leaning into me for insights shared only as confetti from punch-holed vintage magazines

Left to sift through blank pages stacked the breadth and width of canyons

Bouncing us back and forth in their echoing


Floating above the horoscopes

Swimming around the therapy


Still, you give me nothing

So my answers sound like forged portents 

Fortune cookie offerings


Both of us know your defiant stubbornness 

was never going to offer clarity
