She would have been just twenty three
Was she murdered by cut throats lurking in her room
Why did she not return on that Sunday afternoon
Did she elope with a man she'd been seen with in November
To an early grave did he send her
Did she join an obscure religious cult
With ritual mass suicide as the result
Was she burned as a heretic at the stake
Or does she lie in the baptist cemetery in Ohio state
Does she suffer from amnesia live in another state
Does she lie bleeding on a mendicant knife grinder's floor
Or did she perish on some rocky shore
Did she fall down a manhole left open by mistake
Or did she choke on a piece of fruit cake
