not a one trick pony

to captain david

not a one trick pony

perhaps you have a tricked out car?
don't turn any tricks.
can you do any tricks?
by the way, how's trix?
has a treat followed any of them?

not a one trick pony?
there is the cat and mouse trick.
i always root for jerry – and you?

careful not to trip
over the trick of another.
watchful knowledge
of your steps and self
awareness limits us
and the trickster
who is a character
of some amusement
and some danger.

isn't it curious that the mind can play tricks on itself?
how can you "play tricks with your mind?"
how can you play tricks without it?

do you have any tricks of speech?
i know you have a trick for accents
and you should have many tricks of stage technique.

then there are those optical illusions -- mere tricks of light.
who knew light had a sense of humor.

but the trickiest trick of all is the trick of life.
