Are you a sailor? How many women? No family no past all moment He first hears water a seven   Feeding raw cotton from the mill floor feeding cotton with the other children Into the carding machine with revolving wire teeth picking lint and tying knots Above machinery din and falling water Mulls spinning and falls jumping among Pawtucket boys all jump the same Feet first  Breathing  Falling Staying under Then shooting triumphant up to the surface Friday November 13 come see Sam Patch's highest jump yet The crowd was in place at one o'clock They talk and shivered in the November chill Men passed hats throughout the crowd collecting coins Sam tried to relax sipping brandy from the bottle Took off his overcoat  Climbed up to the rock protrusion Sam lurched on the high high rock And starred at the multitudes and mumbled The leap At first graceful  Ended flailing  Smacking  Body unfound til Spring Oh Spring Sam Patch My heart explodes Sam Patch Will you marry me Sam Patch? Sam Patch I have to back to work Paterson The Pasiac Falls Grand beautiful sublime  almost horrific and terrible I am for Sam Patch  I'm for Sam Patch I am for Sam Patch
