Triskadekaphobia
Never fear,
thirteen is here.
You don’t understand.
Prime numbers are grand.
They get it all done
with themselves and one.
Why the hate?
What’s so great
about nine and six and four and eight?
Prime numbers are special,
cannot be divided.
Unlike us,
they are always decided.
Next time they seat you at table thirteen,
or give you a room on that very same floor,
know you are blessed
and not like the rest,
seeing past norms
all the way through the door.
