Easy Aplomb
Yes I see you man of the world:
Flashy on cue in myriad twirls.
Yes I know when to step aside:
Succinct you send your swirl of pride.
Yes I know now that tragic touch:
Watch time somehow scoop away much.
Yes I know why all magic fades:
The weary sighs that sorrow trades.
Yes I know then that fear resents:
The crippling trends in cheer's intent.
Yes, I must say that common sense
Soon fades away to true pretense.
