I wish I had more time to work with the line endings; I don't think they're quite right as is.Scattercathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302815654553659644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642076166796902853.post-70577828330165565322009-11-14T20:44:21.803-05:002009-11-14T20:44:21.803-05:00That's cool scattercat, you took it someplace ...That's cool scattercat, you took it someplace so humbling.

Said the single...My father claimed I was bad luck. <br />Said the single mole on the back of each hand was a sign. <br />Called me Snake Eyes. <br />I was a luck charm.<br />Not lucky, just charmed.<br />Wherever I went, people were happy.<br />A man finds a dollar on the sidewalk.<br />Little girl does a perfect Double Dutch.<br />Toddler finds a shiny rock, just mouth-sized, and his mother doesn't notice for fifteen blissful minutes.<br />Small things.<br />That was my gift.<br />That was my power.<br />Me, I had accidents.<br />Car wrecks.<br />Fire in my apartment.<br />Lightning strikes.<br />Even an asteroid, once. I can show you the scar.<br />I was angry for a while.<br />Sometimes I still am.<br />My misery, a sacrifice, and for what? So little?<br />But now, I sit on the park bench, where the people can walk past.<br />I watch the toddler and his rock.<br />I fold my hands in my lap<br />and smile.Scattercathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302815654553659644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642076166796902853.post-19222909862423184002009-11-11T19:47:55.493-05:002009-11-11T19:47:55.493-05:00OMG - it IS funny!OMG - it IS funny!RJ Clarkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018296461199649445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642076166796902853.post-26370542172260910042009-11-11T19:12:29.679-05:002009-11-11T19:12:29.679-05:00LOL!
