CASTING CALL

by Mitchell Garrard

The American Dream, regardless of the method of ingestion, be it oral, sublingual, or freebased, is speculative theater.

The American Dream needs actors, scripts, weapons, and YOU.

$280,000 in exchange for your identity.

Do you know what you can do with that money?

Are you right for The American Dream?

Qualification is determined by a series of measurements using  a ruler, yardstick, tape-measure, Fahrenheit, kelvins, likes, stars, thumbs and karmic equations.

Critical consensus has said The American Dream is a “perverse, detestable, and sadistic illusion” but “[we] can’t stop watching.”

Seven billion TV sets share a static aspiration while insomniacs small talk with screens.

The American Dream needs viewers, victims, and victim-viewers to create the next monumental season.

Have you ever watched a commercial and seen your own demise?

Do you know what we do with that money?

Do you find yourself with a knife against throat?

Once, that was the mission.  Now, the weapon is improvised.
