"Many Acts, Which We" by Michael Vizsolyi

Let us say for the sakeof argument

and actually mean it.

There's an old manwho claimsto keep the moon clean:and from that angle, you can seeash trees fade likewind-blown ash trees fade likewind-blown ash.I don't know that the latter ever has memory of the former.I have a memoryof a stripper

with a balloon. I don't think she
