a lazy clairvoyant predicts her own future with her phone’s autocomplete

my future is going well thanks
I really hope I haven’t made you
disappear

my future is going to be
full of summer moments I didn’t get
around to

my future is going to be treated
as the winner
when we touch the wolf

I have a poem in which I use the words wolf
it down into our satchels and pretend
it isn’t there

I have a summer
I have a poem
I think you should meet

I have a poem in which I use the words
I have a future
I already know

my future is more than a distant relative
my future is moon between us
and the orb

tonight the clairvoyant is missing
a little detail
from the last two years

the other world is born
out of nothing
the poem is very enthusiastic about it all
