what shouldst i think
they've all clinged obstinately
the ship continues to sink
a white scarf draped about
your shoulders
don't secede and give up
oh, slacken your pace
allow the others their pain
disgust sets in as
hands of black
claim the solemn, the sole
bare member
smiling, and the scarf falls
to the ground
no longer will it protect you
