Rats Off a Sinking Ship

by Uriel Tovar

Is it better to
Dive off a sinking ship
And make a last attempt to an unknown
Shore in frigid waters
Or to take a seat, sip on your brandy
And enjoy the band until
The last note’s played?

Ah survival, they say it is for the fittest, refusing to take it as it comes. It may depend upon ones age. Early on would hae joined the 'rats'. But now........... there is a definite choice to be made.
