sleight of hand
I’m here & I’m not
seems funny how that works out
inside a digital world
people free to come & go
at their virtual leisure
as if time doesn’t matter
though matter surely does
dissolving
& reappearing
inside other dimensions
as if magic is at play
like a sleight of hand mastering
the here & the now
