Rob Schackne #80 - Ghosts Read The Papers

Ghosts Read The Papers


As smart a comment as I've heard all week 
The hand that points the bone points each way
(A breathtaking shard of common sense)

Archimedes says "Don’t disturb my circles"
Which only means if you had a place to stand
You’d watch the screws take you up and up

Advantage moved, circles grew higher
Look here, far from the centre, and now
The wrong powers are too close for comfort

It may be that not all progress is forward
And dead men say let go the bloody switch
And make our day, ghosts say, tell us when to stop.
