DAVID BOWIE & The White Whale
5pm 10/22/2026
David Bowie wants to swim
Like dolphins can swim
I want to sing
Like Bowie can sing
But nothing
Can make that thing happen
So then
I want to swim the ocean's deep
Like whales
In their darkest keep
To cut through water
Like birds through air
I'll haunt the deeps
in this I dare..
To be a god swimming miles upon miles
Needing little save air
And when I surface
I leave a wake
of wondrous stares
And I will sing
Like only whales can sing
Call my brethren
from near to there
Whalesong
Low..
Loud..
clear..
and proud.
We will cavort,
in tandem consort
And you will be my Queen
