Junk Science

“It’s horrifying, isn’t it?”
“Truer words couldn’t
be uttered!”  But then,
what’s true and what’s

not seems to be the head-
exploding query of this 
particular era. I may play 
an artist on a tiny soap 

opera transpiring right 
here on this very channel,
sure, but I’ve always been
more left-brained than

otherwise.  I mean, I nearly
finished a chemistry degree
as an undergraduate.  Before
flipping to the dramatic arts.

But which might you picture
more easily, me in a lab coat
in an actual laboratory, fun-
colored liquid bubbling in

a test tube I carry from
the Bunsen burner to a
microscope, or me in a lab
coat on some gentrified

stage in some mid-sized
American city’s community
theatre’s whodunnit, say,
it’s latest summer hit?
