Blind Alley

Blind Alley (old poem)

The psychic grinned at me
as I slid her a twenty.
She slapped the cards down
and stared intently at them.
Her eyes raised
to meet mine,
and I knew the bullshit was coming.
Her mouth moved swiftly
just like her hands over the cards,
but all I heard
were my own thoughts.
She paused to let her words sink in,
but I thought about the pieces
that fell away from my life
to leave me with nothing.
Her mouth moved once more,
and I realized that I haven’t cried once
through everything I went through.
Her eyes narrowed
because she realized
that I was no longer with her.
She demanded to know
what was on my mind,
and I said,
“I have lost myself
because I can’t see past where I am.
Through all the shit I have been through,
why didn’t I cry?”
She smiled and fed me her bullshit,
and the reading was over.
Her fingers curled around the twenty
like a vice,
and I left
without any answers.

Hey, Jules. Out of all the readings that I have had, I would say, maybe three or four were real, and the rest was a waste of time and money. Beware the ones at county fairs.

These lines say it all...

'I thought about the pieces
that fell away from my life
to leave me with nothing.'

'I have lost myself
because I can’t see past where I am.'

You are a very good writer. IMO, you have a sharp command of vocabulary for a situation, and for the movement of action in a story. Plus, you have a 'main theme' to work through, with internal variations. Simple words are always the most dynamic. You are never boring.

Hi Melissa, just want to let you know, that most of the time these days I scroll through the blogs until one catches my eye. This one did! And I have to say, well worth the read. I can really identify with it. As for my own experiences I should be crying like the Niagara Falls. Fantastic work Melissa, just brilliant.

Be well, stay safe and take care.

Love and respect.

Michael
