Figment (Free verse) by Dovina
In my hand, a letter The paper, smooth I fold it, unfold This letter exists Yet my hand is empty

Up the ladder: Night song of Pattaya
Down the ladder: A Cleansing Of Creeds

I see the idea now but when I first read it, it sounded like an amateur magician.

I’m an amateur magician. Just ask zodiac. He’s seen my magic a dozen times over, and never has figured out how I do it. All he can say is “Ha.”

CROWD: You're not levitating. You're just standing there.

CROWD: You're not levitating. You're just standing there.
DOVINA: It's all in having faith like a mustard seed. Everyone levitates. The trick is in doing an unordinary thing. Blaaaat.

I suppose you'd have to hold this letter, feeling its brutal impact, to see it as totally there and totally nonexistant at the same time.
