Creation
He was tired of removing white rabbits
in long, black hats;
sawing his assistants in a wooden box,
without pain or a single drop of blood;
making himself to appear and disappear....
He was tired of being called a master illusionist.
He was tired of creating new tricks.
One day,
he vanished unceremoniously. His fans said
he had managed to disappear
and appear somewhere else. Some
speculated where he might have gone to....
Caribbean, Alaska, Japan, Africa, Center
of the Earth....
Some were convinced he had vanished
forever into time and space.
The magician was alive and kicking;
he had become a painter
and a family man in a far away place,
with a new name, new addresses,
and new friends.
He had created a new life for himself.
