Lovely Morgue…
Nov. 5, 1922: Lulu McGrath is greeted by a diver in “Wonders of the Sea,” filmed off the Bahamas during the early days of underwater motion pictures. A report the following spring on a project by J.E. Williamson, the film’s director, related the perils of camera work at the time: “Not so very long ago, an intrepid photographer, when attempting to get a picture from an airplane of the crater of Vesuvius, just saved himself from falling into the seething, angry lava. This same cameraman, who is employed by Fox News, had another narrow escape from death in an airplane a few weeks ago. But he is inoculated with the spirit of adventure and keeps going.” Photo: The New York Times
….Didn’t you know
I was a boy before you came
Didn’t you know
I was my own before you came
I was my own didn’t you know before you came…
…
…I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder…
Enjoy.

I look down at my lecture notes: Heártbréak is a spondee. Then I lay my head down on the desk and start to weep.
