and I'm wrong--for some reason I thought today was Friday, and it's Thursday except maybe on a side of the Internation Dateline (though on Earth it will not be anywhere for now a Friday the thirteenth)

I'm not sure what exactly to do; ideally, I'll cancel this post and put in another--we'll see, stand by (please and thank you)


be kind to sable cats
and careful where the ladders are

my goodness
it’s a Friday the Thirteenth

and yesterday there was an eclipse
and we had the orange moon
and are having meteors
just now

so what do the heavens laid out by calendars
foretelling

to which the better reply might be
not a thing at least
for
those of us who do not know
who aren’t
practitioners but simply
live
as best we may

have the day
be nice
to cats
all colors

watch out for safety with our ladders
and try for practicality
not
to break mirrors
this concern a matter of safety
too

or to trip on cracks
which I know
I can do

and now I wonder if our
root concerns
for that category of cultural
life
you know
superstitions
does not
aim
to promote a preventiveness
regarding domestic peril
so
to avoid

well
in whatever way for
whatever
reason
I hope this is a good with-caution day for you
with
care at hand or close by
should something smally wounding
happen

good
safe weekend
too
