the rabbit, of course
is always hidden
in the hat.
and the chosen card
is concealed
up the sleeve.
and yet we're
always pleased
when the man in the tux
skillfully deceives
and restores his
beautiful assistant
to her undivided whole.
because after all,
we put a lot of trust in mirrors.
whatever world you now inhabit,
mr houdini, i don't really care,
but please,
do one more performance.
repeat your most astonishing trick,
and make the elephant disappear.
