Carnival of Everlasting Light

There’s a place a few paces away from the Waterfall of Infinite Wealth and just around the corner form the School of Endless Possibilities. At this place, if you can find it, you’ll see topless girls eating snow cones with big brown bears, and male burlesque dancers shimmying with feather boas in oversize martini glasses. Little children with cameras for eyes drink strawberry sugared water by the Pegasus petting cages and laugh gleefully; it’s marvelous. Glowing pregnant women clutch the small of their backs and smile, like sunshine through honey. If you’re not careful and stay too long, your hair may turn white and glitter may follow you in a long trail, ceaselessly. Last time I was there, I think I saw my dead grandfather buying a hot dog and some cotton candy by the wishing well, but I may have been wrong. You’ve gotta promise not to tell.
