Talismen

Because the elevator arrived before the ten count, and because I scored 150 on one word game dated 21 June 2003, and over 15000 in the next, and more than 6000 on the next, and because the cigarette butt evenly split the heating grate and fell to the ductwork below, and because I caught all of the lights on Dekalb Avenue, with no stops, all the way home, and because I did the crossword in under 10 minutes, and maybe because I am reading Ovid’s Metamporphoses… I am changing and you are coming back… right?
