Tourist Traps

If you find yourself
stranded
in the State of
Cause-and-Effect and
What You See Is
What You Get,

remember that
your Country of
Origin is
The Mystery,

where such
antiquated notions
are seen as
tourist traps, like

The World’s Biggest
Cheese or
Come See the
Petrified Doughnut.

When you’re from
The Mystery,
you’re never truly
stranded.

Have a laugh
at the Doughnut,
take some photos,
then

turn the key
in the ignition.

As soon as you
remember where
you’re from,

the car will
start again.
