Flash-Dazzle

Now you see me,
now you don't. I disappear
in a flash and a dazzle.

I never intended to. This
just happens when you
put me on stage.

One day, I will reemerge,
tortoise-like, from this puff
of noise. Obfuscation is the word
du jour.

For now, I'll rest in this wondrous
cloud of reason. Justify this to
myself. See you later.
