PRESTO
A young man was walking on the beach
A bottled lamp washed up on shore
The young man was somewhat hesitant to touch
Yet curious was running on the young man’s mind
He picked up the lamp and started rubbing on it
Suddenly, a Genie popped out saying his name was PRESTO

ALL OF 90 SECONDS HEY PRESTO
It’s my graduation,
What an awesome day,
What can I say,
Up a few steps,
Then capped,
Then down a few,
Between me and you,
All of 90 seconds
No more,
No fuss, no trumpet,
No encore,

For this honor,

Heard my name,
But this
Was for me,
My moment of fame.

Comfort holds like sleepy pillowed arms
If I could just say "Presto" and return
I'd rise to walk a beach in rising sun
Dressed in might as well be naked shirt and jeans
The ice of ocean water on my feet
As long legged pipers run ahead
and wind gusts

Presto
All of a sudden, the town sort of changed,
As though the years had heaped all their dust in one go,
Reshaping the atmosphere and structure,
Erecting a darker, more feral architecture.
I sat on a bench in the square with a Diet Coke,
A Café Crème silently smouldered in my fingers,
And the ambience bristled, dangerous sensations
Tingling playfully along my
