No.
These books lie.
These words and these voices and
These photographs
Hoodwink us into thinking
Titanic is really gone.
No.
It was the Olympic, dear
Baby girl Titanic is still out there
Twanging lovely cello notes
And drifting with smooth propellers.
No.
Adrift like a ghost
Is she…
Damn those photographs
They feel so untrue, because in my heart
I was there
I am there
So I am drowned?
I am facedown in the water
Gasping for a breath my
Body cannot take?
I am dead?
NO.
My boy is still alive
I am still holding his hand deep
In the sea
Blue blue ocean
If lovely girl, Titanic, has broken
I am broken too.
Finally, the Titanic Voices Installment for today! It seems to come later and later each Sunday. I do have an excuse this time, though- The Academy Awards. I didn't even finish, because I got bored during the Dreamgirls song performance [not that it was bad, I'm just tired] and came up here. I also have an awful awful respiratory thing that has popped up from spending too much time with sickeys at musical practice that I must take care of.

EDIT: How could I possibly forget? This is told through the voice of someone who doesn't believe that the Titanic actually sank- they thought it was the sister ship Olympus who sank instead. There were actually quite a few of these people around at the time who wouldn't accept the truth. The rumors were dispelled in 1985 when the Titanic was found.
