A Spiritual Warning

He decided that he wanted to be Welsh;
this vague idea took shape in the shapeless.

All the Big Mac’s he had ever consumed
began to alter his form.
they changed him into a cute
small white Beluga whale,
being a privileged white man
it made a kind of sense.

‘No’ he shouted
into an eager and responsive universe,
'I said Welsh!'

Later a Welsh speaking whale
was found beached
at an outdoor swimming pool.
