A Preferable Blonde

Nearer My God To Thee
eight musicians 
lost to the sea
the ship went down, unsinkable
forty minutes to three.

Critics will stoop 
so low as to blame
the ghost of
Marilyn Monroe,
accuse her of being easy

say that she 
was only sex
with legs and hips

how can you have 
it without? 
those lips

never realized 
that she was,
never considered 
her heart

her mind that now 
remains observed
while here 
her image 
in eternity

a beauty 
in ways she 
will never know,
a vision.
