ASK THE BROKEN MAGIC 8 BALL

Don't ask the prophet 
or the Pythoness 
to tell you; ask instead 

the original witness—
the songsmith 
or the poet. They'll say:

the forecast is not 
but the lonesome 
tears of all 

whose residue leaks
from the present 
day's sorrows;

I do not know 
what will happen 
tomorrow, 

but I see a few 
cracks you could fix 
in today.
