Dark Matter: new poems by Robin Morgan (PDF)
I‘ve had me up my sleeve
I‘ve pulled me from my hat
I’ve planted myself in the audience
as the patsy I dare to decipher my tricks—
safe I can never see through me.
The Magician and The Magician's Assistant--
I‘ve been both for so long . . .
from here on in, all that’s left is the magic.
