For her last birthday, my daughter got
A beginner's magic kit. A few simple tricks,
But what if? I'll tell you what if. If it
Did any actual magic, just one bit, one
Break in the known rules of the cosmos,
The tiniest rip in the fabric of things,
Not just spooky, suggestive, unheimlich,
Not something we could later discuss
Excitedly, was that it? No. Not a hint,
An event, even if only a blip, would shake
The foundations of eternity and
Everything that came after it.
