They say things happen in sevens.
The seven-year itch, a man, a woman,
a scabies of their relationship
and nothing to salvage.
Seven Years in Tibet Brad Pitt turns
from Nazi sympathizer to devout.
Seven years of bad luck when you
break a mirror, walk under a ladder
or step on a crack.
Seven years I was in prison.
Seven other felons in my cell block.
Seven visitations a month,
seven letters a week.
Seven-ounce servings of humble pie
loaded with carbs.
Seven piercings in my cell mate's torso,
seven minutes on the crapper.
Seven counts of armed robbery.
Seven strands of pearls for my girl,
seven moths fried in the naked bulb
seven years to tunnel out using nothing
but a toothbrush
a ball-point pen, and a playing card:
the Seven of Spades.
