magic trick

08/26/2019
I leave my hand
open
palm up
in the backseat of a taxi.

I place my flannel shirt over my hand,
like a magician,
like last time
in the backseat of your car.

Except there is no magic trick
to bring your hand into mine again.

I leave my hand there anyways,
open
palm up

waiting for magic
