Number One Magician

Number One Magician

one rabbit at a time
out of the hat

holy juggler
catching one ball

sleight of Adam’s hand
surprising us lookers on

jaw dropping us to
to demonstrate his power

quick in coming
so unexpectedly

no applause

I remember seeing a magician, for the first time, as a kid... I didn't applaud, 'cause I was so mystified... Anyway, great poem that I can connect with, easily... Terry (hope I've connected the way you intend... in any case I'm satisfied...)
