flashy fliers draw appealboasting feats of wonder, thrill
beckons, "leave your day to enter,
one free ticket, front and center"
the curtain opens, there he stands
could it be he's just a man?
defying all of nature's laws
beaming brightly at applause
but even this show, too, must end
and nothing will seem as it did
the grand finale? the last trick?
he disappears into a mist
just smoke and mirrors left behind
once a marvel, redefined
incantations, a wand's flick
just lies of the illusionist
