Ghost Story 1

We were tricked by phantasmagoria

Into thinking ghosts were translucent

And wore white sheets

And hovered above the ground

And said boo!

If you live in a city

Take a moment to think

How would I know if there was a person only I could see

In a crowd of hundreds?

If you live in the country

Take a moment to think

Who was that bright eyed girl

Who asked me for directions

And skipped over the horizon

Whilst I was desperate for petrol

Never to be seen again?
