sleight of hand
by Everett A Warren
February 19, 1999

a venue
an audience
i bow low
humblest of servants
am i
to entertain
the only goal
and
as you watch
my Art
unfold
before you
see yourself
within
for as a writer once said, in the words of another writer, all writers are liars
within and more
for my Art is yours
for the hand
truly is
quicker
than the
eye
and as i serve you
so you serve me
to entertain me
most unknowing of servants
feeding my muse
my audience
whom i serve
