after consulting with
my bazooka bubblegum wrapper
to consider my fortune
i see that it really
summed it all up
perfectly
in just five words:
:
“i have absolutely no idea.”
—
‘henceforth I ask not good fortune. i myself am good fortune.”
– Walt Whitman, from Song of the Open Road
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Perfect, reminder of my childhood days and a message to be understood today.

That sent me down memory lane. That gum was hard as rocks! And the flavour lasted about three blinks of an eye!
But yeah. Perfect message

What a great trip down memory lane; I was not aware this was still made. As Dale noted, the gum was hard as a rock.
Perhaps your true fortune is revealed when you enter the code…
