WHEEL OF FORTUNE, REVERSED
Control is an illusion, like how
the light tricks you in the mornings,
its movements across the floor
sly and slippery. There is trickery
in most things, but you don’t have to buy in.
Let’s spin the wheel again.
I’m trying to change my life.

Louisa Schnaithmann is the author of Plague Love (Moonstone Press, 2021) and the consulting editor for ONE ART: a journal of poetry. Her poems have appeared in The Summerset Review, SWWIM, tiny wren lit, and other journals. She lives in southeastern Pennsylvania.
