horoscopes search for bullets in the stars
to feed into our revolver hearts
(please tell us if Taurus or Leo pulls the trigger)
but look at you, you're lost in space
half-cocked, concealed weapon
you're streaking like an asteroid
semi-automatic, you'll take us all down
you wrestle against the galaxy
because Pisces and Cancer and Sagittarius
shouldn't be the ones with the all the magazines
the future doesn't exist yet
there's nothing for anyone to know
astrology is shooting blanks
at you, and you dodge the invisible ammo
you're on a collision course
you marvelous and magnificent virgo!
