If You Go ...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

If you go to
a fortune teller,
I wish you 
the best of luck
 
But
 if you go to
Seven/Eleven
and 
buy a lottery ticket,
you save a lot of time 
and money
 _
If you go to
church/temple/synagogue
and pray for 
a deceased parent,
you are a perfectly 
normal person
and I am jealous
 _
However,
if you have a seance 
with a psychic
or seer
to get in touch 
with
a deceased parent, 
you have my pity
because you would
have the same 
 success rate
as stopping a stranger
on the street 
  and asking for  
   the whereabouts of
     mommy or daddy   
 ::
 
  But 
if you lock yourself
    in a room with a picture
   of that deceased parent
and meditate  on it 
   for hours
...
  
 BINGO
 
Because
that image goes straight
to your soul,
where it has been
for as long as needed
to find it
 
Your soul,
your innermost feelings,
and your heart 
are all you need
to high-five
anyone
who has said
goodbye
to their earthly coil

  1. This sounds like it should be a chapter
    of "The Autobiography of No One in Particular."

    1. Like everything I have been blogging,
      it is a sub-chapter
      of that Autobiography thingy
