As watery milieus for other bodies, we are always gathering the debts of the myriad watery bodies that are the condition of our possibility. Eventually, we all give ourselves up to another wet body. We all become with, or simply just become, other bodies of water [...] we [...] are both intensely local and widely global: I am here, and now, and at least three billion years old, and already becoming something else.
