"A New Titanic" Inspired by A Million to One:

A New Titanic

From here looking back,

I know splurging on a Titanic ticket

is a bad idea.

From here looking back,

I shake my head in sorrow at the one bullet

that started WWI.

From here looking back,

I interpret the signs that have

led to disaster for the world.


From here looking forward,

I deliberate over my

seemingly life-important decisions.

From here looking forward,

I hesitate on the first step,

wondering if I’m boarding the Titanic.

From here looking forward,

I search for someone to decipher palm lines

and tell me if my dreams will drown me.
