Luck by Joan McNerney

Wearing designer clothes

and sleek jewelry,

she traipses along willy nilly

throwing  golden kismet

wherever  whimsy calls.

Some think luck chooses their

goodness or hard work. Perhaps

they were blessed at birth?

The wise know luck wears a

visor tripping over herself

favoring  both mean and lazy.

Luck has a toxic twin called

Misfortune covered with

gloom.  Dressed in dusty

rags, stupor-like he selects

unsuspecting victims.

Stomping helter skelter

clutching the throats of

both meek and mighty.  

Everybody who gets in his way

will be pushed down, their

muffled cries barely heard.
