Sleight of hand? I recall the word prestidigitation, sounding like
something a century old magician might get up to. But sorry, Sheila, I can
make no more sense of this poem than I could of last week's. I'm sure it's
me but I just can't lock in any sort of interpretation. It's 'about' Trump,
maybe? (Most things seem to be these days.) These words, in this order, are
inpenetrable to me and I've tried - I've read and re-read a number of
times. Is there some 'key' of which I am unaware?
