Magic

Did you know that there is REAL magic in the world? What magic? Time.

Time, it seems, has the ability to vanish and reappear. It convinces the audience of its shortness and moments later, its length.
Time eludes us. It gives us all types of illusions.
Tonight I saw a young man on a date, wearing a letter-jacket. The letter-jacket had a big 07 on the sleeve. When I realized he was a senior this year, I was floored.
Time gave the illusion that I've grown up in an instant.
All of a sudden I am a decade out of that dudes shoes.
I am not the one on dates sporting a big 'G.'

But moments after time's disappearing, it reappeared and convinced me I couldn't have squeezed one more wink into the last ten years.
The hours have been jammed-packed with life.
I've been the most miserable I've ever been. For Pete's sake, I've had to spoon with grown dudes for body heat!
I've been the most happy too. Those times are spent spooning with someone wearing a ring I bought her.
But 'Senior' seems only an instant ago...
So what seems impossible is possible. It happened.

Time is magic.
