September Poem #13

By Kat Myrman

Triskaidekaphobia
(a fear of the number thirteen)

thirteen
just a number
provoking fear, unlucky
as numbers go, it’s an outcast
silly superstition

  Yes it is. In researching it, I discovered it has its roots in early christianity. Which is odd. Superstition and fear should not be associated with those who have faith. At least in my humble opinion.

I always think twice when I walk under a ladder… But then I do it anyway. Almost tauntingly

  I tend not to be superstitious like you Joseph, but social conditioning still niggles into my brain. I tend to deny those silly warnings.
