I think I know why

it is unlucky

to break a snow globe.

It's because

we break a world

that is untouched by anyone

allowing it to breathe

the same air we breathe.

We ourselves

expose something

to reality when it's already

broken enough,

we poison it with

the dangers of our world

and don't ever bother to

fix it.

We take something

that is safe

and full of joy,

and break down everything

it once had.

The sound of the glass

cracking and shattering

pleases our ears

and we almost crave

to see its destruction

again and again.

It is unlucky to break

a snow globe

simply because

of the way it makes us feel.

For many of us,

we experience the destruction

of a world that once existed

and we are unlucky

to have felt some sort of joy.
