                                Magic is public
 as the air,
 so obvious
 and clear that it appears
 invisible.
 And we look through it
 at the world,
 which rises up about us
 everywhere.
                                
                                When we wake up
 in the morning,
 the world is always there
 waiting.
 We never catch it
 coming or going,
 and no smallest part of it
 disappears
 before our eyes,
 but stays intact.
                                
                                But all of that implies
 just too much
 precision
 to happen all by
 itself,
 a whole world mysteriously
 appearing
 out of nowhere, putting itself together
 just right
 without instructions or previous experience.

                                We like to think
 that chance alone
 collected the pieces of
 the world,
 stitching together the
 continents,
 turning the dumb elements
 into fish and fowl,
 and you and me, finally.
