Seeing that many things

had vanished by the ill magic

of serious tact,

my ability to fathom was made

extinct, and I could not

trace this dismal birth

of a corrosive blueprint

that made my things disappear

Well three years ago,

in the boarding house this

was the case,

shadows as well as people

were friends to the dormitory,

but as shadows passed

and friends passed,

facilities were no more found,

and my restlessness was homeless,

barricaded by discomfort

I would search the building,

but many times

the grim magic had taken over,

and those magnificent sorcerers

had gotten away again

I know in one sentence,

I should tell you that

thieves stole my things in boarding school,

but my question

is how did they do it?

I you surely it

was only the dexterity

of the hand?
