Palm Reader

I thought to read
my own palm...took
a 5’ver out of my pocket
to be authentic

spoke out-loud
only listening too
the echo: 

“Does she love me,
or does she not?”

my wife had entered the 
room, and crept up behind
me: “She loves you!” and
took the 5’ver from the table.

Dear Joe, aw thats sweet how your wife said that and how she took the 5ver. Made me smile too, and how clever to be authentic youv used th 5ver, can feel the wittiness of that line! Your relationship with your wife sounds like a warm and loving one, one that needs to be written about more often! Pleasure reading you today. Sending you light always.
