Fortune Cookie

mine had winning lottery numbers

I paid $2 for a Quick Pick

nothing matched

I made tea with your shredded letter

it played mumblety-peg with my digestive system

checked the mailbox three times

slipped the mail carrier a twenty

he handed me a new patient flyer

for a local dentist named Cookie Poe

I chewed on that the rest of the day

until I cracked a wisdom tooth

unfortunately

and she had to put me under
