MAGICAL THINKING
I want magic to be actual,
the rabbit to be bona fide,
not a velvet glove with furry ears,
when the magician says voila!
I know that martyrs such as I
must be pierced by arrows
before we become saints.
I only ask for a helping hand
to get up to cloud nine.
I want St. Jude
to count the days
of my novena with me,
not shilly-shally around,
but grant my prayer
as soon as he knows
that I need to be saved.
I myself will not take
the job of sainthood lightly.
