TERRY BISSON
SMOOTHER
AMAZING, ISN'T IT?
I guess. It would be even more amazing, as Oscar Wilde once said, if the water
didn't fall.
Oscar Wild? The weiner guy?
A famous funny sayings guy. From long ago. I think he played the piano, too.
Anyway, it could happen. Or not happen.
What not happen?
The water not fall.
I get it. You're talking about Smoother. I thought we weren't going to talk
about Smoother.
Sorry. It's just that, there it is. Smoothing along. One hundred twenty miles a
day, day after day.
So what? So what does that have to do with us, you and me, here and now?'
Nothing. And everything.
Smoother's not even heading this way.
Not now.
I get it. You're talking about the whole world again. Well, for your
information, at the rate it's going, Smoother will take thousands of years to
smooth out the entire world.
More like hundreds. Do the math.
Okay, I'll do the math. It's a mile wide, it moves at about five miles per
hour...
Eight point four kilometers per hour, to be exact. And Smoother is 2.173
kilometers wide.
Whatever. Metric Smoother, then. Either way, we're talking about a long time.
The world is huge. Smoother just smoothes a little strip.
That little strip, as you call it, gets longer and longer. Every year Smoother
