Preface
ASSUMPTION A There is a discrepancy between a memorial and what it means to commemorate. ASSUMPTION B There is no discrepancy between a fact and its aftermath. STATEMENTS Dust is not a memorial. A gap is not a memorial. Fresh soil is not a memorial. An irregularity is not a memorial. Regression is not a memorial. A town is not a memorial. Change is not a memorial. A galanty show is not a memorial. Growth is not a memorial. A skyline is not a memorial.
