Poof

...

poof.

mmhmm.
yeah.
i believe that is right.
i heard it just fine.
it went poof.

like a lame magic trick.
like a simple joke.
like the end of a sparkler.
it went poof.

not like an old star in the sky.
no those explode.
those make silent booms.

nothing like a burned out bulb
from a lamp that can rock.
those make electrical sizzles.

like zipp.
or zzuh.

oh, no.
this was a simple poof.

it was so easy.
it went so fast.

like the smoker's smoke.
like God's favorite cloud.
like that swirling speck of dust.

you heard it too.
i saw you see it go.
just like i did.
and when it left,
it just went

poof.

get it?
you and i?
and all things inside?

poof.
