Titanic

What world is this where hulls of glacial ice
Reprove the hand of man,
Christened steamers and their human cargo
Tumbling thirteen thousand feet
Into further blackness?
This no trifling world my friend,
I've seen the photographs,
Teak decks and life-rings under strobelights
In a place out of mind,
Two miles down.
