Good morning--my second-to-last morning as a Tulsa resident! (this time around, at least :)--started it off with eggnog french toast, which is an excellent invention and...too much sugar! ugh. coffee later, thank goodness!
here is a random magician/friendship-themed poem. i'm out of practice, but...without further ado:
Sleight of hand and disappearing acts
Are fun-and-games until you’re limbo-lost,
Unseen, unfriended, waking to the cost
Of shallow showmanship: you can’t come back
Because you don’t know how: you disappeared
To prove you could—but should? You never asked.
Of course you could! (complete the smaller half
Of tricks that hang suspended, need you here)
Which doesn’t seem too likely—after years,
Your memory and mine are fading fast,
And magic but the ghost of friendship past,
Forsaken when you failed to appear
That’s when I felt my bones go draughty-cold,
‘Cause magic is for children. I’ve grown old.
