Future


I am so full tonight
The world overtaking me with the will
and speed of asking too much.
Feeling cursed by what I know and by the ways
healing is not enough to make me whole again.

What if I could predict the future?
Flip a coin in the air-
silvery circles in flight to determine
my fate.  Not enough to bring
pure understanding
of every move that could be made
and universal knowledge
that would make us god and goddess
deciding on abundance and privation

just like every life
traced in the palm
of a single, lonely hand.
