Say it ain't so, Joe.

  Attributed words of a young fan, to US baseball star 'Shoeless  Joe'  Jackson (1887^1951) who was accused of accepting bribes to throw the1919  World Series (the'Black Sox'scandal).  Jackson always maintained his innocence, but he and seven other players were barred from baseball for life.

Time that is moved by little fidget wheels Is not myTime, the flood that does not flow. Between the double and the single bell Of a ship's hour, between a round of bells From the dark warship riding there below, I have lived many lives, and this one life Of Joe, long dead, who lives between five bells.

-Skirving, Adam
