POEM -
DAVID R. SLAVITT (B. 1935)
Titanic 1983
Who does not love the Titanic?
If they sold passage tomorrow for that same crossing, who would not buy?
To go down . . . We all go down, mostly alone. But with crowds of people, friends, servants, well fed, with music, with lights! Ah!
And the world, shocked, mourns, as it ought to do and almost never does. There will be the books and movies to remind our grandchildren who we were and how we died, and give them a good cry.
Not so bad, after all. The cold water is anesthetic and very quick.
The cries on all sides must be a comfort.
We all go: only a few, first-class.
