TRICKSTER MAGICIAN

Sleight of hand

The Magician shows up again-

Now you see it, now you don't

I sit in burning expectation

That all I've ever dreamed of

Will surely be granted to me

But then I discovered the magic

Which I thought I saw

Was just a brilliant disguise

The Magician masked my outcome

And once again, I was fooled

However the mutable behavior is not for naught

Flexibility, movement, growth join me as audience members

As the Magician takes the stage again

And waves the magic wand

I begin to see my dreams revealed completely

Alas, they've come true

I suddenly realized the Magician

Was not the same one from the beginning
