2005-05-25Bring Back the Oracular FishA woman stopped me on the sidewalk the other day and said, holding up her palm, �I�m a psychic. I see things for you. I�m a psychic. I work right over there.� She pointed to a storefront psychic place up the street. �That�s nice,� I replied and continued on my trek to the bus. On the bus ride home I could not help thinking what she had seen for me, and what guidance she could give me. For example, had she seen that I regretted my decision not to wear a jacket on that surprisingly chilly spring afternoon? Did she perhaps know where I put those two library books that have been overdue since March? Could she tell me what to watch on TV now that HBO has cancelled Carnivale? Did she know that I was about to pre-order Garth Nix�s latest book? Could she recommend a better set of earphones for my MuVo? Was she about to tell me to start lifting weights again, since the bag of books I was carrying felt much heavier to me than it should? Did she know that today would be my last day working at the library? My mother, always more practical than I, told me that I should have asked the psychic, �Do you see me not giving you any of my money?� |
