Poetry Friday

from Shel Silverstein's "Falling Up" 

Crystal Ball

Come see your life in my crystal glass-
Twenty-five cents is all you pay.
Let me look into your past-
Here's what you had for lunch today:
Tuna salad and mashed potatoes,
Green pea soup and apple juice
Collard greens and stewed tomatoes,
Chocolate milk and lemon mousse.
You admit I've told it all?
Well, I know it, I confess,
Not by looking in my ball,
But just by looking at your dress.
