"freedom for harry" by Brian Steimel

freedom

for harry

By Brian Steimel

watch the magician’s eyes, not his hands

and you will see what he is thinking

where he is going

not what he is trying to make you believe

he is a mental escapist

tricks of the trade are in his mind

in his soul

the physical plane is an illusion

to be skated on

chains to be broken before your eyes

what you believe you see

is in your mind 

but the illusion is real

disambiguated

death do us part

grace in detroit

double indemnity
