Water, wrestling away the loud hum of humanity just over the bank. Factory trains truck stuff in every direction, blaring horns enmass in the cacophony of the interstate. Dogs barking, people barking, phones barking, the whole world barking. Small planes, jet planes, all planes making their way through galactic time and space, to just another place with the same hum.

And yet water, eroding away this channel through rock and wood for a millenia, meanders through miles, unconcerned. Water.
