Oceanus: An Experimental Poem About the RMS Titanic

IT SANK IN THE NOW,

ex-pat down with all hands

seen one Wednesday

in a sinking southern city.

It hit the April showers

serving death

en route to Yorkshire,

killing peace and war and

Mary timed it well,

she was the biggest,

longest woman

to float the virgin shore.

Oceanus tells a story that's been told a thousand times before, one that's known all around the world - the tale of a passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean with massive loss of life. Oceanus tells the story of the RMS Titanic.
