FORTUNE.
That's what she told me.
And I followed that advice
with every fortune cookie since.
But today, in an act of defiance, an act of independence...
I read the fortune FIRST.

The Wait
Sometimes people in the ghetto
Especially when it is very cold
Will pull up in front of another house
Where they are most likely picking
Someone up who doesn’t have a car
And they will honk the horn
Almost always 3 times
They peer uncomfortably
and anxiously across
The passenger seat
at the front steps and the door
But no one comes out
Then they honk again
Usually 3 more times but sometimes 4
Eventually someone will flee from the house
As though it is on fire
run down the steps and jump in the car
The funny thing is that for all the time spent
Honking and blocking traffic the driver could have
gotten out of the car and gone up to the front door
Knocked, gone inside, been warm, said hello
But then it always comes down to the same thing doesn’t it
The question being, where do you want to wait
