RUNNING TALLY
RUNNING TALLY
I’d like to know the ratios of wishes being made
to wishes being granted
and which god turns up more victories for the wisher:
coin fountains,
shooting stars,
stray eyelashes,
birthday candles,
The clock turning 11:11,
simple prayer.
Whichever it is,
the most reliable,
we should let it rest for a moment
and give the others a chance to catch up
so all the wishes don’t get spent
the same as fossil fuels.
