The lottery lady

Today,
a customer came in..

"give me thirteen-ninety-five
match it with the zodiac Leo"

he said..

and she chuckled shyly,
as a faint shade of red
placed itself on both of her cheeks..

"what so funny?"
he asked,

she faltered,
and for a second
believed that she
should tell him

That he had just invested
his money on a number
that matches
the birth date of a heart breaker

and matched it with the Zodiac,
that does not match her own..

she could have told him,
that those numbers pierced her
soul and made her shiver..

But instead she said,

"nothing"

gave him his ticket
and whispered

"Good luck,sir"

knowing the rest of
her day,

had already changed course.
