The Day I Stopped Reading My Horoscopes

The day I stopped reading my horoscopes
I was at the beach
Recovering from the greatest
Nervous breakdown in my life
So far.
I bought a pair of polarized cheap sunglasses
Which probably came from a stolen lot
On a ship
The world was suddenly orange
Fluid clouds invaded my head
And my cup of coffee.
The day I stopped reading my horoscopes
I did not use sunscreen
We had rose wine at the beach
My skin was becoming almond
From the sun and the polarized shades
I looked at life like looking at a freshly ejected Polaroid.
The day I stopped reading my horoscopes
I wore a dark silk kimono
And bathed seven times
While you were kissing another girl
But I did not care anymore
Because I have a sense of losing
That turned out to be
A publishing deal.
