When Whales Dream

when whales dream perpendicular in the singing sea cradled in a swath of blue silk ebb and flow oblivious to courting dolphins cavorting and calling as drunken sailors do on Saturday night leave rem-membering across time large thought plunging wild and free or small delicate moments of ghost like creatures frilling through unimaginable deeps perhaps lost long ago.

Thank you Jack. I was watching a documentary on whales and there they were nicely spaced a few feet below the surface sound asleep. I think they were Humpbacks apparently not all whales sleep in this manner.
