Dear friend
I understand your belief
in a higher power
beyond our control
and also
your contempt
for modern ideologies
and everything you
were supposed to learn
in school.
But be aware
that when you tell me
there are ghosts in your kitchen
and you have purchased
crystals
from an online witchcraft store
to banish them forever
it makes people think you are crazy.
Totally fucking crazy.
Even here.
In California.
