I was doing some reading last night
bathtubs have been involved and implicated
with the deaths of a lot of people
jim morrison in paris anyone???? -- whitney houston, her daughter
the guy who played bass in the pretenders
many more unfortunates —lesser knowns
no bathtubs have ever been brought up on charges
second degree murder or manslaughter
I think they should be charged at least
with aiding and abetting
being clean is overrated anyway
dirt under the nails is a good sign
a sign of hands in the soil - hard work
farmers - auto mechanics - oil riggers
there was a somewhat known poet once
who never wrote anything down
he wanted to be forgotten when he died
he did die and I can’t remember what the hell his name was
so by that measure he was successful
then there was the guy who was huey lewis’ stepfather; wrote poetry
one day went off into the woods with a gun
they never found him or his body
no one knows for sure what happened to him
then there was hart crane going over the side of a cruise ship
never found the body///mysterious
kind of a romantic way to go — the unknown
better than being found dead in a bathtub
