LEGERDEMAIN
The cat turns into a cheetah; the fly
an eagle becomes. I am awash in wonder
and awe. My dream becomes a person.
-
Outside on the grimy sidewalk, the opposition
arrives. The ugliest oilman I've ever seen -
dense, voracious and vile I sense. He
sticks his awkward hose into the ground
as fuel oil spills - a sickening black slag
running over concrete and wood.
-
There is no magic there. Where
every dreary moment demands that
it is real and of substance, and dragging
everything else down with it. I will
flee. I will transform : the curtain
now becomes an angel, as this
exception becomes my norm.
