great illusionist

megaphone
red scare shout

atomic bombs
town hall meetings
not needed
let the people dance on the deck
don't shove a frightened face
on a magazine model
if not needed

midnight casanova
welcome to the real world
pillowed
words
one pillow per person
keep it
keep cinderella
remember that
pages keep going
blah blah blah
equals said too much
it's not rocket science

open space still leaves a line
( )
great illusionist
flip that trick
queen of hearts
meet abra-
cadabra
a word for romance

poor side street
hobos
steal petty cash
he has no romance

WMDs
daydreams for the weak
no lone ranger riding
a unicorn
saddle up a stallion
ticket to the gold rush

poetry soothe
not pent up garage
or sick soul
laun-
dromat

tackle box head
sharp tooth lure
no no no
better off dead

fend off melville's obsession
drown it
and leave it
better off dead
