Fear Of A Black Hat Poem by Shane Markie

Fear Of A Black Hat



'By and by the magician will throw us all back into his black hat.'

CHARLES SIMIC

If death is simply
A black magicians hat
Where one is tossed into,

Who is the magician?
Where is his hat?
What does this
Sleight-of-hand parlor trick
Have to do
With living, eternity,
And any of the rest of that?
