I put no credence in palm reading
but I’ve always found the idea that
futures could be found in peoples’
palms fascinating.
And that by lines in one’s hands
futures could be revealed: Live lines,
fate lines, heart and head lines,
Mercury and Sun lines.
Whoever dreamt up palmistry must
have had an ingenious imagination.
And it always made for a cool scene
when a palm reader in a movie,
got a terrified look on her face
while reading some doomed soul’s
palm.
And though palmistry is labeled a
pseudoscience, I find it fascinating
and amazingly imaginative.
But not enough to ever have my palm
read. Besides, I’ve lived far enough
into my future that all the tales
have been told.
