If you didn't say your brother sent it to you, I could've sworn it came
right out of Mike Geary's head. It has all the earmarks of his sense of
humor, imagination and versification. Regardless of who wrote it, it's a
beauty! Since he didn't tell you who wrote it, I'd guess he did. Is that
far-fetched?

Anyone recognize this poem? My brother (dead for ten years) sent this to
me once without attribution. I assumed carelessness on his part. Can't
ask him now.
PULLING HATS OUT OF RABBITS
Invading center stage
I strip the magician of all artifice
I expose his hidden cards, his pigeons
his silken handkerchiefs
I dismantle his white tie
his collapsible hats
I unscrew his hands and throw
them to the audience
I climb deep into his sleeve
for glasses of water and fiery wands
reach far into his legs
for rabbits and ropes
eggs and coffins
I strip him to teeth and bone
Now they're all yours, he smiles
It is his finest trick
