phobicly yours

superstitions

le chat noir

ladders
cracks in stones
spilling salt

and on
and you know some
for sure
I don’t

so this is a bad
day
as it was
certainly for the Templars

on 13 Friday
in 1307
(October)

and I have not had the best day
though
I hope you have
because
if you didn’t know the day or number
you might have a good or bad
day
regardless

and the same
a good
or bad
day tomorrow

hoping it’s good
