Wheel On a Stick Part 10
The Cinematic Film Treatment as a stand alone element
in the aesthetic revolution we are now not witnessing
Radiant
A pilgrimage of enlightenment undertaken by Bob the Plumber after experiencing a spiritual detonation that woke him from a standing nap (while pensively propped up by the handle of his GripTool string mop) after an eruption of offal from a badly clogged pay toilet caused by a voluminous dookie left behind by Ashton Niblick, mysterious playboy black marketeer golf hustler, after binge eating on Exxon Bay oysters, clams and mussels with his winnings, at the annual Hole in One Tee Off and Wet Tee Shirt Contest at the T Bone Dunes where Bob happily keeps things flushing, draining, expunging, purging, liquefying with such a frequency and intensity and sacrifice laden unquestioning consistency, that he witnesses an ephemeral phantom visitation by his trans-spatial muse, Calliope, taking the form of an incandescent carrot with the power of speech (accompanied by the sound of whining turbines) who begins a lengthy soliloquy about the powers at play in a sociological era of limitless free time and tools of cognition only a mouse click away in such abundance that they fill space to the horizon with objects of utility.
