cuppaA Poem by annie leetrying to outwit the future
cuppa
tea leaves in a cup: what do they tell you? how your day will unfold, like the petals of a lovely bloom, or like the sinister black cape of the villain? who you are, what you have been, who you will be? are the tidings in the cup like the tidings on the news or your horoscope on the funny paper page?
have you dialed 1-800-PSYCHIC? did the psychic tell you all about yourself? were you amazed? were you stunned? did you willingly pay your $59.95, chanting out those Visa numbers like a song? when it was all over and the room was still, did you know more than you knew from the tea leaves in a cup? or just all you already knew before you sipped of cup of tea?
