A whale is a whale is a whale
is a metaphor is an obstacle
is blubber is ambergris is night oil
inspires scrimshaw makes sea song
wreaks havoc, wreaks mission,
defies oceans defies heavens
makes madness madness flensed
is a whale is a ship is obsession
is impossible is a whale makes
tsunamis white death breath
makes madness makes legend
is inspires makes wreaks defies
makes silence legend.
