         What of the others

         Left down below?

         We told each other

         We hadn't power

         To save them all, nor

         Feed a multitude --

         Just these few

 

         Up here who we

         Could see in deck

         Chairs sunning themselves

         Like us shielded from the

         Push and pull

         Of faulty planning.

         We sighed at the others'

 

         End and drank the 

         Dregs of 

         Forgetfulness.

         We slept and had

         Nightmares, and

         Let our lives

         Slip away.
