The fortune cookie
in my bag
of Chinese food
says that
something life changing
is about to happen
to me,
but it doesn’t say
if that something
will be good
or bad,
so now I’m worried
that someone I know
is going to die
or some shit,
and I don’t want to
finish my food
because I’m afraid
that if I do
the fortune
will come true,
so I stop eating.

I should’ve just bought
a burger.
