The Magician

Visible to anyone in the world
A poet is a magician
Since he can
Make you think it's a trick
When really it's magic.


This is a very free reworking of "O poeta é um fingidor", by Pessoa, but I hope a worthy one.

The remarkable Portuguese poet Pessoa wrote under fourscore and ten different personas. This is one he wrote as himself.
