My father speaks

Spoke too soon. Think you
Might regret that. Beware
You say. Forecast: Rain. A drop
On my hand. I looked

Up but the sky is blue. You cry
Beware beware, caution in the breeze, luck
A turn for the worst. I ask
Whether you knew her.

But what if… And I am
Telling the truth: no what if’s, I know
Better than that. I know I know I
Know. And you don’t. Do you?

You blinked away the speed bump.
Continued.
Stop, please, stop speaking
At me. The way horoscope readings

Try to make this your problem. Second
Person. Ni. Ni. Coaxing: believe this.
I know better. You
Lie.
