Luck (2)

This is the story of the banjo jubilee: the pregnant woman lays her hand on a banjo for good luck. The burglar flees at the sight of a banjo over his left shoulder. A dog sees a banjo go yellow in alpenglow & begins to howl.

The coyotes answer with a yip & a yelp & an ai-ai-ai. The locksmith pauses to listen on his way to the music store. Just then the baby kicks & she jerks her hand back. It will be a girl at first, & later a girl who plays banjo. There are so many ways to be lucky & all of them are round.
