The Ouija Spelled Life

Written March 8, 2012 Death mixed with morning rain and darkness, Icy patches hidden on the pavement Lived comfortably on the outside As I rode along in my car like the Planchette of a Ouija board. Unaware that the power(s) that be Were battling against each other To push my car on the board to Spell out either life or death, My morning thoughts Were interrupted By a 360 spin faster than The distance between Two thoughts... Ending up muffler-first gagged on A snowbank with nothing, No one around for miles. I gazed at the three-lane Highway where LIFE Was spelled out this time, And realized that DEATH may have been on the Board thirty minutes later During a busier time. Thirty minutes later Found me talking To a mechanic Instead of my family talking About me in the past tense And trying to communicate with Me through the Ouija board. Death inefficiently cheated Marked off on My To Do list For the day. How many more times will I be able to mark that off? Dare I ask the Ouija board Knowingly sitting in the corner Of my closet?
