A Book and a Finger

Sitting with a friend with a book and a finger. Kate and Jacqueline approach all books with the spirit of divination and discover the new Tarot. Only receive color analyses at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market. Eyes crossed toward the third eye, arranging words like furniture. Dropped into a bathtub in 1987—their hands prune—soaking in Hagline poetry.

List of words:

-Double, mother, receiver, impression, wish, future, symbols, reflection, attainment, limitation, surprise

-Sometimes, pertaining, company, lengthwise, through, related to, first, furniture, supposed, everywhere, tomorrow, transmit
