pick a card, any card memorize
that card, return it to the deck
every time her baby brother did a sleight of hand
she rolled her eyes and groaned
he smiled from the seat of his unicycle
shuffled the deck like an accordion
slid coins out from behind her ear and twinkled slyly
when she begged to know the secret
but when he slipped
over the international date line
into a kayak on the Tasman Bay
she felt the disappearance like a knife
