Kind of Like Superman

I once dated someone
who would smash the fortune cookies
that came with the Chinese takeout
because,
well,
she just didn't want
to know.

So when she would go back up to the
counter
for more soy sauce or hot mustard,
I would retrieve the paper slips
from inside the crinkled plastic
wrappers
and put them in my pocket -

securing the future,
saving
our tomorrows.
