how to deal with superstition

 

there are the things you can’t see

 

air and gravity

the arrows of love

 

no one can see the smell

or a wind change

tell the tree

 

once the crazies get into a book

imagine the conversation

you’re cloud cuckoo up with the aether

never come down again

 

what a trip!

commandments!

adore this burning bush!

 

there are unknowables

like engine of car

most mechanism

how the words come out

 

or

take a stock exchange

mirror of tooth and claw

 

and on the road not taken

it is better to see a stone as a bear

for kingdom, fry small fish

 

all spirits to placate

burn and marry

as well

 

many have guessed

 

witches flame

or drown if they weren’t

this is the logic of crowd

 

test entrails

wish creatures away

 

once was the only entertainment

 

those others will grab snatch

make off with soul

 

consider numbers like

4 or 13

 

demons, so we say

very own best work

 

step on a crack

and other world it

we all of us live by a wishful turning

faith defends a ledger

 

there’s always a king

sits up to count

there is always

the laughter

of clowns
