Introductions
I was a tarot reading New York Sicilian in Jackson Square,
Selling the tourists what they wanted to hear.
A symbiotic tourist parasite, part of the traveling circus
Amongst “all the jugglers and the clowns
when they… did tricks for you.” [Bob Dylan]
What a scene, N’Orleans.

“We all have choices in our life.” I explained to the housewife as the cards explained to me. “The cards say that if you follow the path you are on, making no changes in yourself or your circumstances, this is where you are headed.” My hand spiraled out from the center card of her reading to the line of cards leading to the final outcome.
“Pick another card. Ask for an alternate outcome and pick three.”
