a one line poem in response to this prompt by Nancy E. Pitts for Chalkboard

Song inspiration:
“I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space …”
~ Crazy — Gnarls Barkley


The greatest illusion has nary a rabbit, nor hat,
spaded deck or velvet underground,

just ask

any human being who’ll spill
how they lost their marbles over her.
