I Cannot Take Your Money
The cards were a prop
Commoners like them
They tell her nothing
She is a psychic
Clarity comes from her spirit guides
She studies the cards carefully
Fabricating elaborate meanings
To keep the man interested
He is a nonbeliever
Her open channel slams shut
Tell him nothing her spirit guides say
I cannot take your money, she tells him
I apologize but the spirit guides are not speaking today
Maybe this one was the real deal he tells his wife later.
