Deny Friday 13
It’s power, snub your nose, stamp foot,
Make it crash aloft.

Prove you’re bigger, Great.
Untrampled by numbers
On a monthly page.

Refute each classic
Myth looming larger than real life.
Gods can’t get it right.

You retain the truth
You, not they, make glory days
Like this by yourself.

Call it magic or will,
Ratchet up destiny, capture
Immortality.
