The first & the last

The very first words of
a word-plumber
drowned

the very last words
of the so-called
jazz singer

such a cheap song to choose...
you probably just couldn't
go cheaper

the very last dividing
the very last
confluence
of souls

the very last
hopeless
gaiety girl's
curtsy

the very last dance for the
striptease
admirers

last hunt ever
for the deer
lover

the very first out-of
the very last into

nothing functions perfectly

but then:
does anything
function
at all...
