Don’t Let Me Predict the Future

on Sunday I had a funny
premonition that my weekly
box of food, that comes each
Monday and has 14 fresh-made

meals, was not going to arrive.
there was precedent.  but surely
I was just being a little dramatic
and there was no real reason I

should think that it wouldn’t come.
it did not.  it was the perfect storm
in which, thanks to my box not
arriving, I went forty-eight hours

without eating.  Tuesday and
Wednesday.  I used to love reading
the tabloid prognosticator’s predictions
back in the 1970s, thinking what a lovely

job, to pretend to see the future.  I
think I prefer not being able to see
the future.  let Jeane Dixon remain
Jeane Dixon.  I want no part of it,

Past, Present or Future.
