While likenesses in brass or stone
were promised a second life,
there was no holy-day for
a 244 year-old social compact
found near death yesterday, July 4.
Signs point to strangulation.
Nearby stood a heavily made-up
clown, who, over an estimated
1261 days is reported to have left
his fingerprints on everything--
including the victim. The names
of the victim, and the clown,
are being withheld pending
further investigation by the DOJ.
