("Let love be your only debt! If you love others, you have done all that the Law demands." Romans 13:8)

"Someone Gave Her a Whale"

Someone gave her a whale,
hand-size, stuffed, blackandwhite, carnival trinket
and a tiny tag "made in Taiwan" stuck to one fin

The stranger saw the fiveryearold on the hot
amusement park asphalt
one hand in her daddy�s hand
one hand free
and

Gave her a whale

Someone gave her a whale,
a teen in a midriff top on the midway
and her boyfriend who won the whale
looked at the unknown girl
with the slightly sunburned shoulders
and a solitary braid--
and gave away a tiny prize

Someone gave her a whale,
Which she slept with last night
and laughs about
and sings about
and
though she may not remember faces
she remembers how giving feels
and debt-free living
feels

loving whales and the people that give them,
mark p.
