#andjustlikethatimbetter
Sleight of hand combined with misdirection
so you miss the moth eaten crushed velvet
of my finest stage jacket,
the flop sweat beneath the powder
I gesture to the monument of worries
towering behind me
With flamboyant flare
Presto!
The monolith of my life’s troubles
is no longer there!
You are right to give slack jawed applause
and question my technique,
just don’t peek behind the curtain
beyond the mirrors where it
all still teeters
Until the lights go out, I’m cured
