Ode to ‘Psychics’

My Love Epiphany was in a precarious state. It was the Truth, which had seemed like a stable thing over the two weeks I’d had it, but when flung into its first battle Truth had not fared so well. Oh sure, it had gotten me some smiles, but—the BART ride home was brutally clear on this—the Love Epiphany had not gotten me Love the night before. I couldn’t see where I’d gone wrong.

I stopped by the library first. Allen Ginsburg, Bukowski, Pablo Neruda—I would figure this out, by force if necessary. Then I trekked up the hill to visit Maren at the bead shop. Maren knows everything about rocks and love. If she didn’t have genuine advice, she’d at least make sure I left feeling sexy.

When I arrived, I found Maren with another visitor. He introduced himself as Michael, and I realized he was The Michael. Michael the ‘psychic’, the tarot reader, who’d read Maren’s cards so perceptively she’d cried—the charismatic Michael, who liked to get into her head then ask her out.

Michael stood in the corner of the bead shop, balancing on one leg and holding—honestly—a giant crystal ball. We talked for awhile; I was distracted by my love failure but didn’t mention it. Then with no warning he pronounced:

“Do you know why you don’t see as clearly as Maren and I do?”

“No, why?”

“You have too much emotion.” He paused to look at me then continued. “You’ve had a big realization in the last week or two, but you’re losing it in your feelings. Don’t let it go. Remember: you know what you know.”

Crikey. I muttered some thanks and got out of there.

Damn. I should talk to Moran. Or maybe he should talk to Moran. I seem to be monopolizing the useful people anyway… Life is complicated and strange. Obviously your comments section isn’t really the place to complain about this fact. Ah well.

Do you mean Maren?

Yes. For some reason I got the wrong spelling of her name stuck in my head when I didn’t know how it was spelled yet. I don’t think I can edit though.

Yes, but I think this is disputable post.

Good afternoon. Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt of, not swallowed.
