Much implied in few words, reminds me a little bit of Ozymandias
in it's outcome but has a much more layered and modern drift.
Swinging with Galileo is the beginning of Ed's pendulum and also a
sort of erotica (well to me it is!) which implies that ignorance
and loneliness sometimes work in harness, the second stanza
enforces the view of peoples ignorance by how easily they are
manipulated, like puppets on a string and their minds drawn back
leaves me with a vision of a Venetian Blind (very appropriate
seeing as how you're swinging with Galileo!). the third stanza
threw me a bit but seems to say 'Fuck your heresies they'll come
to nothing anyway, It's not worth the effort to try and change
them, Galileo would have had similar 'thoughts' when they
threatened to burn him at the stake! The last two lines have been
proven true throughout history.
Loved it Leanne, thanks for sharing. Cheers
