Episode: The Blue Whales Have Stopped Singing
Description: The blue whales have stopped singing
because the krill are vanishing
because the oceans are warming
because we are ruled by long-toothed liars
whose insides are full of dead leaves.
The great whales have gone silent
and my bird has gone blind
and there are chatbots in the basement
and corpses in the corn.
Under the overpass it is dry and still.
You would never know that everything is dying.
You should come and visit me.
Meet me over there under the sepia streetlights
with the strangleporn perverts and fentanyl fallen,
all the stillborn scar tissue extractions
from the wreckage...
