A path alongside a fence led down to a stairway, that ended in the Joe DiMaggio Playground. Many had begun to gather on the playground already. A girl wearing a balloon hat took a photograph of the gathering through the fence.

Bishop Joey welcomed the gathering of the foolishly faithful. The ghost of Christmas past was reflected in his glasses.

The conclusion of the parade was overly documented by not only those with serious cameras, but also by those with sissy cameras and cellphones.

The gathered crowd of foolishly faithful sat to listen to Bishop Joey inspire, ridicule, and joke.

This is what Bishop Joey saw while speaking to the seated crowd. A chaotic crowd seated in an ill-fitting ending to a disorderly parade.
