“Backchannel Negotiation
by Stewart Stafford
I slumped out of the tarot parlour,
Drifted past the neon sandwich shop
with more than angel food for thought,
Replaying the revelation on a mind loop.
She said don't worry—which I did,
Everything I had dreamt or wanted
were my riches of decades past
on a distantly hazy New Year’s Eve.
That night, I chatted up a Hollywood starlet—
A shooting star rising across my eyeline—
Beautiful face and eyes, but acned skin,
It was her friend who drew my attention.
I began to leave, but sprang backwards—
A jack-in-the-box popping up for her number.
Marriage and two children flowed from there,
The sated universe hummed, the psychic said.
