Fortune Cookies

I have a lot of fortunes from fortune cookies,
at last count something like 57...
... does that mean that I am, in fact, fortunate? Or just that I have no life? 
This question eats at me day in and day out.

I have a lot of fortunes from fortune cookies,
at last count something like 78...
... some read that I "might prosper in the field of medicine,"
other's advise me to "do something different, today."
But I am happy in just reading these moot suggestions,
these gems of brief poetic predictions,
because there is nothing quite as fine as the laughter of friends and loved ones.

I have a lot of fortunes from fortune cookies,
at last count something like 92...
... and I know I am fortunate; in simply knowing you.
