Charlatans A Dime A Dozen

CSNY: American Dream

Standing at the window,
reading the menu
of Obediah's services,
the Minotaur wishes
he could believe in what
she has to offer:
a promise woven into
deep lines of his palm,
some turn of fate
told by a card.
But faith is
a nebulous thing
and charlatans
a dime a dozen;
it's always been that way.
The Minotaur both envies
and pities the devout.
