Ethan the Magician
Between magic tricks and icebergs
A similarity you will soon see
For the tip of the iceberg
From top to waterline
Is the audience-distracting visual
The magician has in mind
Just a portion of the whole
And a small one at that
Just enough to add credence to
Tricks pulled from his hat
But out of sight, out of mind
Looming large, yet out of view
The bottom of his iceberg
Hidden, allows the trick seem true
Ethan is no genius
The magician in him knows it too
So he covers his trail with
Misdirected clue after misdirected clue
The profiler’s profile
Is off by a mile
As are the police, on their wild goose chase
Held at bay for a while
Misled by recipe
Two parts sleight of hand
One part spontaneous yet discreet plan
