• The Mathemagician

    He takes his numbers
    equations
    formulas
    symbols
    subtexts

    And presents them slowly to the audience

    Conceals them under his hat
    and flutters his hand

    Pulls forth a new number
    still hot from the forging

    His audience applauds
    standing
    clapping
    cheering
    whistling

    They depart, whispering repeatedly

    "How did he do that?"
