Hocus Pocus

Now you see me,
Now you don't.
Double cross you.
Or I won't.

What you imagine,
Might be true.
Who's to say
The jokes on you.

Don't get mad,
Just get even.
If I stay,
Maybe you're leaving.

Your inner glow.
Your graceful charm
Now Jingle, jangling
On my arm.

Or in your mind,
I rattle round.
Search forever
Lost and found,

Give me away
With every breath.
Then beg me back
Till part us death.

This pachyderm
Dwells in our home.
Let's learn to leave
Enough alone.
