Glynis Has Your Number

She does and now I know exactly when I should not schedule surgery, or rely on people,

but it turns out my life path is the same as Allison's

and so numerology has me and so does my intent to not start anything

13 minutes past the hour, or 31 minutes, it's 13 backwards, or 47 minutes before the

hour has ended, only 13 to go, and I can't leave pages unread on these 

numbers either, I also place exactly 3 tissues in my pocket before flying and wear the

same t-shirt there and back, but it's fine if it's washed in between.

The mere thought of Henry VIII has always sent me into a blind rage and now this-

I could have had incredible smoke and mirrors blessing my superstition 

and a lifeline of annoyed friends to focus group my concerning behaviour 

but no, it's just me, haunted, one shoe on, on eve of action,

checking the microwave clock matches the one on the thermostat,

which matches the digital radio, oh and the oven.
