Clam and Oyster
    run into their homes, embaressed
    by an unexpected visitor -
    me!
    And after all, their houses aren't clean, you know.
    So I go on, understanding.
    My rooms not clean either.

        Seaweed,
        Worldwide Diploat
        bows in his patronizing way.
        And yet, I know he is really needed
        so I bypass him,
        and go on my way.

                Crabs are rich old men,
                I think,
                and lobsters their
                "lady friends".

But after I get past all
the petty city members,
I am blessed to hear the kings sweet song -
                        A whale, singing to it's elusive mate.

                        And her majesty, the dolphin.
her song as pure
and magnificent
as any a human could ever sing.

When I come back to my own world,
I realize that humans,
not the sea,
are what I should have been afraid of.

                Dark........
                        We don't see
                        that just because the whale or dolphin
                        don't look like you and me,
                        why can't they be
                        just as intelligent as we?

                Cold........
                        People can be so cruel.
                        Even to ones of their own species,
                        their own races,
                        their own friends.

And now I want,
more than ever,
to go back to the world,
the home,
                                that's warmly singing to me.
