Lost in Translation, Whale song

[Achebe]

Lost in Translation
Whale song


Maybe the whales are just singing
Maybe they don’t want to talk to eyes-in-front types
like you. Maybe they’ve already done that and got tired of being misunderstood and
now is just the time to sing because for you forever is just a heel-toe heel-toe
of heartbeats with an invisible countdown - the measure of mortality, a pedometer of days
I’d far rather float through sargasso forests, light beams freckle me, I’m so grand you can’t imagine
I just go on and on in zero buoyancy that is nigh holy, the silence between notes is utter
The song is all about giving, the water laps up what you give, mamas milk pushes
sounds through a sieve of plankton. Like love, it heats the blood, water and salt
as you give.  Electrons buzz with karma, trailing out
through ripples that slowly fade. All life seeks balance. The last of my breath
bubbles out as a long sigh, my chest hurts a little because the thought was just too big to have
Whatever words I had were useless
Maybe I’ll sing again when I’m a whale

I could follow it up to "imagine" but after that it sounded like a mishmash of incoherent thoughts.
"Electrons buzz with karma" is going over the top under any circumstances.
I would suggest a complete rewrite of the second half.
