Water is Thicker Than Wine

It’s in My Blood

I could turn water into wine and string into 79,
what a sublime set of skills to possess.

I would kill to confess that this power is a fraud,
that any alchemy is a fallacy abroad,
far from the praise of domestic applause,
an implausible reality with no cause for pause.

But I would add a clause,
a subtext in fine print stating that my statements were colored with a tint.

A hue of hubris,
‘cause in actuality I do believe in magic.

I’ve seen it with my vision.

But it doesn’t take the form we traditionally envision.

It comes as a byproduct of tragedy,
the ability to overcome adversity,
but the adverse effects aren’t advertised equally.

Markets only care about the markups and marketing,
a bizarre behavior for a bazaar,
I think?
