Bluefish and Her Father

One day on the beach the lifeguard blew his whistle. This was maybe twenty years ago. A large dark stain was moving through the waves, easily visible, as the ocean was the color of a cut cucumber that day, or a celery leaf, the very palest green. The stain was big, irregularly shaped. It moved; it stalled. It moved again, slowly. Everybody hurried out of the water and stood on the beach staring at the green wave and the darkness in it. Then a figure burst through the crowd and barreled out into the water, right in the middle of the dark place. It was her father. Come out of there, everybody screamed, it’s a school of bluefish! They’re feeding! But he already knew that. He was interested in swarms and schools of things. He was interested in bees and termites and ants. He wanted to see what it felt like, he explained later, to be among them.
