LOCATION: Taped underneath a big green dumpster. Adjacent to the parking lot at the 10th street baseball/softball fields
==========================================================
SATURDAY:
Generalissimo Melissimo says that life is pretty sweet!
You’ll be tested as never before to find this year’s treat.
The 1st clue never offers much. Since you may need to get “upside down” to find the medallion, I suppose that could be getting “tested”. I know, it’s lame.
SUNDAY:
Allan and Mikael sang in this band,
the song was a big hit.
Two singers for the Hollies – “He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother”
A diminutive crony, they lent him a hand,
“He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother”
the first two lines provide the fit.
It’s a long road, with many a winding turn.
MONDAY:
A cake of pineapple upside down,
the opposite of right side up.
For you to find the monetary crown,
you’ll have to get faceup.
You pretty much have to get upside down and look up to see the medallion.
TUESDAY:
To get the medallion, live life on the fringe,
your efforts must know no bounds.
“Fringe” and “boundary”. That dumpster is pretty much on the fringe, or boundary line of what constitutes that portion of the City of Independence.
For final victory, all will hinge
on how well you can mess around.
It’s under a dumpster.
WEDNESDAY:
You see them all the time, and everywhere,
yet to most, they’re highly obscure.
Ignoring them is widely seen as de rigueur,
but their absence makes all impure.
You see dumpsters, but do you really see them? In an existential sense, do we really see anything? Does anybody really know what time it is, does anybody really care? If the medallion is in a pasture with no people around, and a horse eats it, has it really been ingested? Ultimately the issue of perceived dumpster existence invites the notion of ambiguity not being confused with that of absurdity. To declare that existence is absurd is to deny that it can ever be given a meaning; to say that it is ambiguous is to assert that its meaning is never fixed, that it must be constantly won. Absurdity challenges every ethics; but also the finished rationalization of the real world would leave no room for ethics; it is because man’s condition is ambiguous that he seeks, through failure and outrageousness, to save his existence. See?
