can I give you a reading
I’m pretty psychic Luella said. Can I give you a reading?
I am open, so I say “sure”.
To me give, means give.
“It’s sixty dollars,” she now says.
I am less open to it now.
But she is a friend, and it is only sixty dollars.
(This is when I was still working).
Your chakras are off, do you have a backache?
I stare at her. “no.”
Neck ache?
No
Head ache?
No
Pain in your foot?
I start to giggle.
She gives me a non-friendly look.
I wish I had not already handed over the sixty dollars.
