Magician
By Gary Miranda
What matters more than practice
is the fact that you, my audience,
are pulling for me, want me to pull
it off -- this next sleight. Now
you see it. Something more than
whether I succeed's at stake.
This talk is called patter. This
is misdirection -- how my left
hand shows you nothing's in it.
Nothing is. I count on your mistake
of caring. In my right hand your
undoing blooms like cancer.
But I've shown you that already --
empty. Most tricks are done
before you think they've started -- you
who value space more than time.
The balls, the cards, the coins -- they go
into the past, not into my pocket.
If I give you anything, be sure
it's not important. What I keep
keeps me alive -- a truth on which
your interest hinges. We are like
lovers, if you will. Sometimes even
if you don't will. Now you don't.

I posted this one in May 1995 but The Prestige made me think of it several times, and now reading it makes me think of The Prestige, which I have only barely cracked as a novel (first person! Somehow I was not at all expecting that). Anyway, you can blame the movie for the fact that you're getting it again, though I really love the "Now you don't" at the end with its ambiguous connection both to the sentence before and to the "Now you see it" earlier in the poem.
Huzzah, our stove is fixed! And we have had pumpkin soup (the cheap and easy way, with canned pumpkin). Of course I got up early since Sears could have arrived any time after eight and I had to be showered, dressed and speaking coherently, and of course -- since the window ended at noon -- they got here at about thirty seconds to twelve. And we ended up having to replace the igniter, which was over $100. But at least we do not need to replace the stove! We bought it and the microwave the same day and now both of them have had major problems within a couple of weeks of each other...do we think they have timed obsolescence built in? And did I spell obsolescence right?
I had a lovely lunch at Lebanese Taverna with
And speaking of TV, I tracked down both episodes of Torchwood, started watching, started getting a headache from the pixelation and decided to stop but given some of the scenes I have heard about, I am not at all confident that we will get these episodes in anything close to their original state and who knows how long it will be before there are DVDs here, so I am saving them in case I need them!
