But someone, too, must sell the magic beans,
Must sing a doom glissando when the Banshee calls in sick,
Must know the wire to pluck when a time machine needs breaking,
And how to osmose secrets into a dreamer's head.
It's not so easy
To crouch in flame
And crackle visions of never-cities,
Not so simple to wait beyond the sky
Carrying a bag full of legends.
But we do it because,
If we did not,
You would be boring,
And we would be bored.

("No", whispers the ink-lit night, "it's the other way around!")
