O jedi o magi I am not learned in art or artifice
I am not a prodigious powerhouse if you please
Nor auto selected to stellar serendipity
I carry no mythical magic wand no lethal light sabre
I come bearing you one gift and only one
My utter and complete humility and submission.
I, jaded jostled chipped figurine fondled by crude callousness carelessly handled
dropped off from the nest of care too early terribly mangled
Unable to even understand what it is I bear.
Our meeting perhaps providence
Was only expediency drawing near.
I came in your gun sight causally
Even casually.
I had nothing to fear
Pinned up on a board i was a little balloon
Shot at! popping for all to hear.
See me magi my hands are not hidden in trick sleeves
See my hideous scars
O brave Jedi shed only a tear
And I promise I won't make it too dear
I have found in you briefest shadow of a restful shelter
I am not leaving let me stand a moment here.
