I haven’t figured it out yet-
have you?
It’s a trick that only you would know–
much like the inorganic chemist said
today when he turned something
non-carbon based into something
living–
and he thought he was God
and so did the audience
And then the sun set in the Grand
Canyon, according to the precocious
child
And I, I waited for the explanation
until magically
I knew
without you telling me…

“And how did that happen?” you ask.
And I looked at you one more time
to be sure
And then I smiled and
moved away
so someone else could have a turn.
