Things That Shouldn’t Exist in Your World But Do

We know you’re expecting magic,
Names of supernatural things
Never to be explained away,

But let’s start with the world as is,
That is, as your experience
Of the world leaves you, demanding

The magic you know must be there
But just won’t make itself quite clear.
Bare world shouldn’t be in your world,

And we know this since we’re the terms
For the worlds you wish plain world held,
This bland world that shouldn’t exist

Without magic, but does, leaving
You with your insistence on things
You wished shouldn’t exist and don’t.
