"Trilby"

by Jeph Johnson

 

Watching Trilby dominate Svengali
We learn the crescendo is not the finale
Though a sequel has yet to be made
It's the blazing sunlight that makes the most shade
Insomniacs preface their breakfast with lunch
Does a dodge prove they can't take a punch?
We must let the hypothesis prove
That in stillness you've made the right move
