Baby Whale and Mom Whale
Choi Paul Yearn
A baby whale's belly bulged because of
many small pieces of transparent plastic .
the shorter of breath the baby gets
as losing faster its energy
it is more often flipping over and afloat.
The longer the baby stays afloat
showing its white bulged belly of death
the mother circles more often and faster
around her immobilized baby
that is floating like a small plastic bottle
just swaying along the waves.
In ocean country without hospitals
she touches her baby by her body slightly
moving her body more swiftly.
As like as people can't see the mom’s tears
they can not see transparent themselves
who are the killers in the baby’s belly

I understand that plastic in the ocean has deteriorated to the point where it is in microform and me get into a female whale's milk. Otherwise, while going about feeding the way that whales do, I can see where small bits of plastic can get into a young whale's body.
