Ali’s Crystal Ball




Ali had a crystal ball.
He could see into the future—
All smiles, a remedy, a tincture.
But then his mom got covid. She died
And then his boss sold the shop. Surprise
His crystal ball wasn't a ball at all.
It was just a mirror, round and flat,
Broken with a crack in the back.
