I didn't swim to Alaska for this.

Understand I am an orca
captive-bred
I could kill my trainers 
with a flip of my tail.
But I won't.
Because I need the dead fish
they give me.
Because I don't know.
But even if you 
approached the glass
and whispered 
the secret in my ear.
I wouldn't.
My insecurity unbearable.
Better a limp fish here,
than try to hunt on my own.
