Diana Darby ** "I V" ** Intravenous

Fortune Cookie

I feel like a hot fortune cookie,
crumpled in,
stuffed with a message
I can not see.
I know it is there.
I just have to look inside to read it.
It says,
“Tomorrow brings more of the same,
better get used to the rain.”
Yes.
A dire prediction at first glance,
but when I think about it,
it is really quite funny.
I must learn to carry my sunny yellow umbrella
no matter what is thrown my way.
There will always be more of the same.
The trick is to let it slide off,
like rain water,
and keep on walking.
