Whale came to visit me today
Whale said,
Hey do you have a moment?
I didn’t know what to say because
I had never been visited by a whale before
whale said
I’m here to show you how to live and die
I’m going to take you to the depths, to the place
Where my body falls after I die
I said,
Whale, I cannot go to the depths
I won’t be able to breath there
Whale said
You can’t breath here on earth.
Your ancestors sent me here to remind you of your impossible existence.
Whale said
When you fall, you will die and be reborn again
You will replenish the ocean with your cellular body
And you will mingle with the cellular bodies of your ancestors before time
Whale said
Whale fall with me to the bottom of the sea
I said
I’ve given up the ghost before and I can do it again
Whale said
It is better to know the ghosts that you’ve given up
It is better to know
