Mark: When the oceans are half plastic,

When the world is a desert and drowning at the same time,

When the winds never calm and want and want.

Rachel: Will we be able to find each other? I don’t want to lose track of you. Not with all these changes.

Mark: Silence is coming, Rachel. It’ll be a new silence. I don’t know what this silence will sound like, because I’m not sure I’ve ever heard real silence, but maybe it’ll be like a blanket. A plastic blanket that covers islands, and oceans and forests.

Rachel: Are you reading this on the web?

Mark: No, no, but I know silence is coming. We’ve known for a while.

Rachel: It’s loud now.

Mark: That’s just the lawnmowers.

Music: Foreshadow the playful animal sounds of page 2 � whales, birds, calls

Mark: We just have to do what we can.
