Sure, magic can be
Sparkles and magic tricks
Witches and tarot
Time travel and body swapping
But science can be magic
Asking, “how is this done?”
And making the impossible possible
Neuroplasticity
Changing the brain like magic
We can even conduct
Research on psychics and mediums
My magic looks like
Hope, love, peace
Childlike joy
Belief in possibility
And suspension of disbelief
But I wish I had
Magic dust to remove internalized ableism
Instead I’ll take the magic of
Disability awareness
Authentic disability representation
And systemic change
In this way, humans are magicians
When we are open to
Ideas possibilities connections
The way we think act grow learn
Is all magic
