There's something <i>Dr Strangelove</i>-esque about this verse of the biting <i>Surveyors' Riddles</i>. The measured line lengths and thwarted agreements combine to summon the footfall of a general striding up and down a war room.\n\nTimely that this poem should come while proceedings at COP21, the UN climate summit, are underway, with parties at loggerheads over fossil fuels. Here, the resources being disputed are somewhat different: \n\n"Madame Chair, we're dependent on words"\n\nWe might expect words to be renewable as a commodity, but this verse questions their longevity. Reassuringly foreboding.\n\n<span class="brightlink">[[Return to poem|previous()]]</span>\n<a class="set2" data-passage="Start">Return to front page</a>
