i don't believe in
superstitions
they only breed
unholy ignorance
can't no rabbit's foot
could ever fix
i don't find trouble
in fearsome digits
when there are
way too many
demonic idiots
that have me counting to
six
six
six
i ain't skeered of
crossin' black cats or
tippin' toes 'round
every street crack
to keep my mamma
upright
and i'm never one
for cussin'
when i'm given
a bakers dozen
12 + 1
is perfectly fine
good things
for me
it seems
always happen
in
thirteens
i don't know
what else there is
to say
i guess i'm lucky
lucky
that way

Week 77 ~ Happy New Year!
very nice, I like your attitude - & those things don't bother me either
ReplyDeleteI love this. I do believe in superstitions. (well some)I am hoping for a lucky 13!
ReplyDelete:) 13 has usually been lucky for my family as well, like the voice in this
ReplyDeletenot a bad bit of luck, and i am not a superstitious lot as well....the repeat of lucky in the end is interesting...also be use luck implies believing in it which juxtaposes nicely with not believing in superstition...ha
ReplyDeleteLoved this Rene! Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteA good way to face the New Year. Great poem!
ReplyDeleteRight on, baby girl. :-) Not superstitious, either.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2013 to you!

Has this got a southern twang to it? It felt like it did, and because of this it painted a real vivid picture...and I love the contradiction, the being lucky because of things happening in thirteens
ReplyDeletei'm taking your lead with believing in a lucky year. though it takes quite a bit less than an unlucky number to set me to cussin' :)
