Cogs
Spin
One twist
More plates move
Greatest good swerves how?
We cannot see the inner clues –
Somehow among us are those who wave the magic wand….

Oh, for the magic wand that swerves for the greatest good. Yet, what's good for one, isn't necessarily good for another or good for everyone. Responding to a scientific poem, with a mathematical poem is brilliant, Julie. Your poem is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.

I like the image of an essential someone operating the gears that move the plates... the wrench as wand. Very nice.
