another frost
over the rooftops of houses
nesting magpies

every year
they trot out Nostradamus
claiming a 'prophesy' will come true
and the gullibles nod and cross themselves
and point at the television.
We are slaves to superstition
in an age of wonders
and if someone once said 'the world will end'
they'll be right eventually.
