the boy dreamed the blue whale
biggest of all on earth
blue and quiet and pretty much endless
like the dream itself
and fell in love with the
strange, quiet creature
he then thought he will have to swim for miles
every day
just to caress her
but it wasn't something he wouldn't like
he thought he would have to invent
the strangest words
in the strangest language of all
and then to find a way to sing them
under water
the way whales do
to let her know how he feels
and this wasn't something
he wasn't ready to do
it’s just that he was so unfathomably afraid
he won’t find the right words
and his love will remain stranded
unspoken and worst of all humane
this is how the boy decided to be
a poet
