Fortune Telling Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Fortune telling

Solid Ball
I have a crystal
like the old Jam-e-Jam

By looking can forecast…

As did the charlatan
my sister with shaman

She told him everything
trickster and smart
took, copied
confession
in each
word

he then made stories
to forecast.

I can tell:
Canada is China.

See signboards
classes and the shops
ceremonies, seasonal festivals
but also…
names and signs
when sent by…
the gadget
and on
line.
