It was the first meeting of the Dadaist Society of New York’s Upper Downside. Mistrel McGarte chewed her lower lip mechanically. Rrrose IV had yet to show with the coveted clue to the Mona Lisa’s jilted lover’s true descendant: none other than Danette Brown, capitalist author of the DaDa Vinci Code. Mistrel sighed. There was a time for absurdity but not now. The capitalist clock was ticking alongside the urinal in the art gallery. A postman handed her an envelope. Mistrel tore it open. Fine particles of detritus, paint, bone floated free. A note inside read, “DNA here final clue.”

Just pop it into her DNA sequencer and she’s away

It would be too absurd if there wasn’t enough of it to make sense. But fitting.

Linda, Thank you. But those looney Dadists are easy to make fun of. I just wish their art didn’t have to be inflicted on us!

I actually had to look it up. I’d heard of Dadaism somewhere along the way, couldn’t remember much about it. That’s probably because it’s not memorable 🙂

Dear Rochelle,
It will be unintentionally hilarious, but the pretentious in the art world will take it seriously, of that I’m sure. 😀

I love the original take on the prompt. Very appropriate for a shipping carton containing ashes. Dada couldn’t have come up with anything more provocative!

Haha! You’re so very right! I can see that carton at an art gallery now. Oh the ironic humor of modern society, etc. etc. yet much better than that bourgeois conception of beauty! 😀
