Conjuring Rabbits
What shall we debate today?
This or that or the other thing?
The price of eggs?
Or whether God exists?
No matter.
I’m ready for a good back-and-forth
And a bucket-full of mental sweat.
I’m feisty and full of kick.
You pick the topic
And the first volley is yours.
I have been a spring over-wound
For much too long
And I am ready.
Have a go.
No matter the topic,
No matter the side.
If I don’t have a quick retort,
I will conjure rabbits from hats
To counter your claim.
An arguement from whole cloth
Made of smoke and mirrors.
And so, idle too long,
There is much that needs to be unwound.
Palimpsest
