At the Helm

the whales were

singing as if they
were rejoicing yet
only voicing that
which whales do

where the best
store was for
kelp and little
things

things that you
and i would think
as chit chat and
actually a matter

of fact
but i heard
from the tabloids
that whale speak is where

it's at from an
off and on again
covered addiction
an almost resolved

semi physical
that escalated
into a no win he
wins situation

which is where
we end yet where
we began so to stop
the cycle from being exact

i punched
the guy back
got a broken nose
but showed him i was

steadfast
