CSI: American Carnage (Tuesday, April 23, 2019)
The Professor and the small strike force stand at an entrance off the midway of a peculiar amusement park in the midst of the desert. The Professor says, This seems to be the way to the attractions. Little Timmy, pup reporter, says, What are we waiting for? At this point, a disheveled man in a dusty, torn tuxedo emerges from a tunnel and says, Welcome! Welcome! You are waiting for more information. You are waiting for a report. You are waiting for the legal process. You are waiting for public opinion to catch up. You are waiting for your colleagues. You are waiting for fear to subside. You are waiting for the cows to come home. Welcome! You are in the right place. Timmy says, What the? The man says, This way to the bearded man speaking from both sides of his mouth. This way to the man who remembers nothing and tells all. This way to the man who argues with himself incessantly and loses every time. This way to the jumbled ride of conflation. Watch your step! This way to the guns. Ha ha ha! I am the ringmaster of this circus. You will do what I say, like they always do. What have you got to lose? No one does what I say they should not not do and or vice versa because here is the thing: That which is not real is that which is most evident and we will explore it all here, in this tremendous park, which is the best park, the park of your dreams, the park of everyone’s dreams which they do do when I tell them it’s okay. Follow me. Sarah, Timmy’s friend from the resistance potluck, says, We are right behind you. And the group enters. — Tuesday, April 23, 2019
