Day 236: This never happened at Delphi

My daily Dilbert calendar's exposed
one comic at a time—a superstitious 
maxim, as though I'll keep tomorrow closed
or tossed, depending.  Even surreptitious
look-sees would get us busted.  Underneath
the paper, futures idle smooth, their inked
prognosis promising to not bequeath
us prophecy ahead of schedule.  Synced
with Dilbert, my mass-market horoscope
comes crashing down when someone flips ahead.
In quantum terms, I'm screwed—my future rope
is long enough to loop my present head,
a cartoon lynching based on someone's too-
soon desecration of my points of view.
