LOOMIS<br />
When they sink down they made a big<br />
splash <strong>and</strong> this here wave come up…<br />
BYNUM<br />
A big wave, Herald Loomis. A big<br />
wave washed over the l<strong>and</strong>.<br />
LOOMIS<br />
It washed them out of the water <strong>and</strong><br />
up on the l<strong>and</strong>. Only…only…<br />
BYNUM<br />
Only they ain’t bones no more.<br />
LOOMIS<br />
They got flesh on them!<br />
Just like you <strong>and</strong> me!<br />
BYNUM<br />
Everywhere you look the waves is<br />
washing them up on the l<strong>and</strong> right on<br />
top of one another.<br />
LOOMIS<br />
They black. Just like you <strong>and</strong> me.<br />
Ain’t no difference.<br />
Some throw themselves<br />
into the sea, others hit<br />
their heads against the<br />
ship, others hold their<br />
breath to try <strong>and</strong> smother<br />
themselves, others still<br />
try to die of hunger<br />
from not eating.<br />
—Jacques Savory, Le Parfait Négociant<br />
