“US to Dig Trench Along Mexican Border,” read the headlines in newspapers all across America.
The President of the United States signed an executive order that authorized the digging of the trench.
Work crews began digging the 800 foot wide, 800 foot deep trench today.
It will run from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico.
It will be filled with water from that ocean and gulf.
“It’s going to be the most beautiful trench you’ve ever seen,” said the President at a press conference beside the olympic sized swimming pool at his resort in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. “Believe me, this trench will make America great again. Mexico will pay for it! It will give great exercise to the people who try to swim across it. For the first time in history, you will have a President who will keep America safe from the huddled masses swimming to breathe free, and those huddled masses in tremendous shape! Better shape than what they came here in.”
“It’s going to be a muddy eyesore,” responded the leader of the opposition to the trench. “The only thing muddier is the thinking of people who want to dig trenches to keep hurting people out of the United States.”
“Really. The President is making America great again by making it safe for the first time in history, and making it safe again my making it great for the first time in history. Really,” wrote an ally of the President in an editorial in the Washington Post supporting the trench.
Somewhere between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, there is a whale. Scientists call this whale 52 Blue because it sings it’s whale song at a frequency of 52 Hz.
Other whales can’t hear it’s song.
They sing at frequencies between 15 and 25 Hz.
Who is 52 Blue?
What kind of whale is it?
When was it born?
Where did it come from and where is it going?
Why does it sing at an unhearable frequency?
We don’t know. We know so little.
Could it be a deformed blue whale?
Could it be a cross between a blue whale and a fin whale?
Could it be a new kind of whale we have only heard but never seen in the deep, wide sea.
A small, mute migrant boy from El Salvador and a brave, brilliant Alaskan Iñuit girl are on their way to try to find 52 Blue.
