magic circles trick

You are always there, 
wherever you are
doing things so characteristically 
you.

Any time I chance to sweep by,
peep in, it is never same,
but it's always true. 

I'm reminded of that old magic trick.
The magician with circles interlinked.
With a metal shoosh and a swoop 
of hands - link breaks! Yet somehow

I can't help but think we remain
thus enlaced. Call it anything.

Call it quantum entanglement 
if we like. No matter how physicists
stamp and fume
at our ham
-handed mis
-struck metaphor,

it's alright. 

Call it ours,
call it shared
or joined. Scratch 
a mark on the board. 
+1 to the score. 

Call it just how I am 
sees just how you are. 
Always there. Sometimes here,
and come back for more.
