hogwash

i receive an advertisement from the pharmacy. remember easter is april 24th, it says. stock up today at rite-aid! how odd, i think. what do i need from the pharmacy for easter? extra band-aids for holy week? anti-histamines just in case? not glucose strips certainly because it's not a feast celebration. 

easter candy, the link says. filled and fillable easter baskets! easter bagged candy! easter plush and novelty! 

there is creative thinking out of the box, and there is effrontery. easter is a terrible sacrifice and an impossible triumph. adorable bunnies and chocolate treats should find their own festive occasion.
