Is the mirror broken if you do not get to see
Your perceived reality or doorway to fantasy?
Is the black cat malcontent
Because it’s cursed for the way it went?
Is the ladder really to blame
Because you stepped under, ‘breaking a frame?’
And what of this of the 4-leaf clover
Or the rabbit’s foot (doubt it was willingly given over)
That supposedly improve things?
Do people cast fate onto
Things that aren’t what they seem?
