The Case of the Vanishing Voodoo

We like to believe that we are too sophisticated

for superstition

only then a Friday thirteenth,

will surely, as ever, call up

demons and fears

from the limbo of lost voodoos.

But, then again,

consider the quotation

From Shakespeare,

“There are more things…”*

*”There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio,

Than are dreamt of in your philosophy [science].”
