"Zodiacal"

by Jeph Johnson 

I don't believe in horoscopes. 

For instance, 
I know several people born 
between May 21st and June 20th 
who did not share the womb 

I once had consensual sex
with someone on her birthday
in early September

But most of all, 
I just can't believe
that everyone born between 
June 21st and July 22nd 
will succumb to malignancy 
(even if they all
seem to be crabby)
