Uncle History dives (occasionally)
To the wreck of Titanic
He doesn’t care about the machinery
He’s interested in toilets
And the captain’s bathtub
Its confirmation he’s after
Ghost feces of the dead
And the hint of a tragic last bath
He too would like to be
On the edge of panic
Though he’ll never get there
What with one thing
And another
What with the homely artifacts
Of loss—what with
His inability to look up
