The ten, I just found out, is a good omen in Chinese culture. It's just lucky for us that we did not wed on a Saturday, because for some reason, that's bad. I like any superstition that works in my favor.
My fortune said that I would be honored by someone I respect. I believe in fortunes when they work in my favor.
impromptu poetry:
Stolen candy
melts and recrystallizes
in the pockets of stealthy
juveniles.
Rotten molars
rattle in the skulls
of the halitosis hookers
in Fat City.
Gummi Bears.
The filling of a Twinkie
loading cheeks and gums
with the chemistry of excess.
