Astrology Hype

Carole Ramer


While in prison six months
my horoscope predicted:
"Travel to exciting places.
New career opportunities.
Romance and adventure."


So far—I've traveled from jail
to Manhattan Supreme Court.
My pay scale has increased from 10 to 25¢ per hour.
Numerous other inmates have made
overtly sexual advances to me
in vacant stairwells.


Honey,
that's not my idea of a rising sign.
