WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT

God, being God,
could use magic

but he doesn't. 
The end goal 

is simple; evolution 
is the stratagem.

But this Rube 
Goldberg device 

(by definition)
is elaborate—so 

the instructions 
come slow 

on an old record 
that sounds bad. 

The tragic shows
are also the most riveting, 

according to 
the marketing department. 

But you—all alone now
in your home,

with internet, fear, 
and a phone—

what are you supposed 
to make out of that?
