Then came the floats and balloons: hideous and twisted hybrids, fantastic satires on pop culture memes, Superman with Popeye’s arms and Homer Simpson’s head, Tom Cruise in drag grafted willy-nilly onto fractal variations on Oprah’s couch, George W. Bush’s cranium cranked to the popping threshold followed by a spindly, wraith-like simulacra of Dick Cheney brandishing a long needle, Justin Bieber holding an enormous magnifying glass to his shrunken, distorted penis, various high-ranking members of the National Security Administration neck-deep in sticky, viscous solutions, manufacturers of weaponized drones beholding themselves through windows of endless recursion as blips of green data that puffed into showers of pixilated ice to the tolling of gongs. At every street corner gangs of laughing children stood ready with slingshots, their missiles assailing the balloons from all sides until the bloated rubber corpses sagged and crumpled in the gutters like yesterday’s condoms.--HONDURICA AND OTHER STORIES
