In the mess, Dan served himself a healthy breakfast of oatmeal, dried figs, and a cup of green tea. The liquid rhythm of his own chewing, punctuated by the oar-lock creaks of staffers shifting in chairs, the squeal against the floor as they slid those chairs back and forth, coming and going in their red and green and purple and blue, the thump of the swinging doors—when Dan let his gaze lose focus, let those sounds fill the space, they took on a new quality.

Sounds making phrases. Phrases repeating, joining together, becoming song.

The blue whale is the largest animal that has ever existed. Up to thirty meters long, heart as big as a school bus, arteries wide enough a person could float through. An elephant weighs less than their tongue. And they are getting bigger. But blue whales don’t live the longest. The bowhead whale can live more than two hundred years.
