Soo:	Duh. Dis dolphin looks rike a bird.
Jules:	. . . or overweight bard trying to be a ballet dancer.
Andrei:	Not to fishermen. Too often dolphins are seen as rival predators err alternative protein sources.
Philyra:	I know. Isn't this what happens when we see things merely as commodities?
Ellesha:	It goes deeper: humans often view each other that way. It makes everything cheap & degraded.

An shards ah time we ere a swimmin'
in kurrants deäper thun thay seem

If ya sea pysst the bracken gloss, umpteèn
kuns, toxic resins & micro-trash
stränge questions surface
such az
How kun we move through the waters
ah kreation mure kleanly
'n swim with lightness 'n speëde?

Grate dolphins
alrody knuw tha answers:
observe thim klosely
ta learn böut light
ness, art & speede

Edukrate those
lacking fins err
smooth dynamicks -
eventually all will
muuv gracefully
