hart crane i
bought at a library
sale somebody
used it for an ash
tray somebody put
out their cigarette
on its cover
apropos really
that somebody
snuffed their fag
like hart crane
snuffed his own
life in a private act
of poetic justice
so much water
under the bridge
guess we’re all
sailors at heart

Sometimes what goes around comes around or as you said ” so much water under the bridge” enjoyed traipsing through these words.
I was referring to Hart Crane’s ‘The Bridge’ but thank you for your slant on my poem.
