Psychic

I got to thinking about the Psychic around the corner.  It's open approximately twenty-two hours a day, and there's no one ever there, no clientele; which leads me to believe that the Psychics are so psychic that they can not only anticipate the future, but they can anticipate the customer, even if the customer is virtual.  All of life's variables are virtual on some level.  I've got to get into this game, maybe not with crystals and palm-reading, but with anticipating a good virtual reality. What does the future hold? Daisies, rainbows, and flying unicorns? A pot of gold? I don't need this type of saccharin tomfoolery, maybe just a bit of the future perfect in my life.  I will have, I shall have.  Sometimes a certain amount of reasonable entitlement works. I have to be honest, over the last two years, my sense of entitlement has lost its hard-on.  I am in need of some vocational Viagra not tomorrow, but yesterday.  But let's get back to the future. The "virtual" is not formally recognized or admitted even though its there in essence and effect. It's a ghost image on a xerox copy.   "Virtually speaking" - which means for all practical purposes - so in the one word, and let me be verbose for a second with my riff - we have "impracticality" and "practicality," living as twins joined at the hip.  The future, as in the virtual, can be both destructible and unshakable.  I am going with the unshakable for now, like a true soothsayer's rock-solid words of wisdom.  I am actively engaged in this course of action. I am actively engaged in the course of re-finding an occupation.  I am actively engaged in the future, without foregoing the present.  I believe in the impossible, in the impracticality of pursuing a dream even when it might be a dud.  The life-lines on my palm prove it.  No where do they read futility.  They outline a time to come for some time to come, until that time drops off, but then at that point, my future, will become part of someone else's past.  But for now, the red neon sign reading "Psychic" has not shuttered yet.
