On Watching 'Titanic'

 
Two principles
dwarf the two principals:
 
1. romantic love (hetero)
2. male power/ sacrifice.

Big bucks!
Big engines!

We (the audience) are locked in steerage,
will suffer a digital sinking -
and the water's breathtakingly cold.

The family goes down
to 'live under the sea'.

A fantale wrapper
floats on the surface.

The North Atlantic
is still as a mirror

The stars above like
little chunks of ice
