Antarctica is melting. India is riven by earthquakes. Shura remains handsome, provocative, delicious. Jones feels replete with comedic resources.

Colin breaks out his squeeze-box. ‘I'll sing you a shanty Arlo Guthrie taught me.’

‘Whatever happened to Arlo?’ Shura asks.

‘Perhaps he opted for beekeeping.’ Colin's words are shapes, fridge-sized glyphs in a range of pastel hues. ‘My song concerns the good ship Vancouver and a young tar as sweet as a barrel of apples.’

Just render unto me this creamiest of cheese dips, thinks Jones.
