dinner theater magic

he was a failed
magician.
all the pigeons
died.
he cut his wife's leg
off in
a trick gone
awry.
everything up his sleeve
fell out.
and he never got the card
right,
when holding it
to the light.
he swallowed
the key
to chains
that held him
in a trap.
nothing disappeared
or reappeared.
smoke
turned into fire.
and the poor rabbit
ran for its life
finding a hole in his
tall black hat.
