I go over the same town every day and everybody points at something else.





Children see me first. They tell an adult, the adult looks up a second too late, and by then I am a normal cloud again. This has happened for years and it has never once gone the other way.
On a good afternoon I hold my shape for maybe forty minutes. Then a wind comes through and I get to be a horse for a while, then a smudge, then nothing. It always comes back.
