Phantom Images
To me, ghosts can't be spirits of the dead:
though something weird seems to be occurring.
I theorize our eyes are oft misled:
so phantom images keep recurring.
A departed soul would not lurk about
after rising from a body that's dead.
It'd intuitively figure things out:
and thus spiritually move ahead.
Ghosts are often engaged in some routine,
as if trapped in a repetitive act.
Neither alive nor dead, but in between:
a presumption we've accepted as fact.
If ghosts are spirits, why do they wear clothes?
I'm to believe clothes have souls, I suppose.
