HOMER NARR1 01062106@050793
The dolphins have expressed great
curiosity about the universe above the
sky. I have suggested to them they may
travel there if they wish, yet they are
dubious. I could build them a ship, I
tell them, and they chitter and click
but do not assent. I tell them man has
left behind vast tubes of air, filled
with the plants and life of Earth,
floating in space. They find this
interesting, but silly.
They will think about it, they tell me.
Perhaps in a hundred years or so they
will have an answer. They've been around
for thirty million years, and are in no
hurry. They tell me they haven't
finished exploring the oceans yet.
