Man never did learn to fly, but
for one or two cases that
were quickly relegated to
the medical curios box.
Whales, though—whales we modded
’til they were giant zeppelins,
bones thinner than the birds
that now bore our weight as couriers.
The whales merged with cities
made of platinum and tungsten,
neuro-wired for power and control.
Great herds of whale cities flew
like dreams of children, man
dreaming of his days
as children
beneath the great blue sky.
