SMARTIES ~





YOUR SMART PHONE MESSAGE



 

you know

the social




order is

fucked

 


when the

assassin

 


ignores

his enemies

 


and instead

shoots

 


his

friends




one more tragedy. . .Seattle


no matter where my eye goes now — town & country —
 everyone but me & the crazy guy
 owns a smart phone
 has their ears plugged with buds, wears head phones
 is tuned IN while OUTdoors. 

They see and feel but don’t hear the breezes
 all parts of the day, their messages are constant
and when not there — expectant!

Life on the edge.

RAY JOHNSON ~

Ray Johnson has forever been my favorite modern artist (USA) — a mixture of so many — Duchamp, de Kooning, Picasso, Cornell, Cage, Brainard, Warhol, Bruce Conner, and somebody I'm missing. It's good to miss somebody, keep a space open.



"Dear Andy,

I telephoned John Cage and t old him
that you wanted me to  interview him for Inter
view and he laughed and laughed and said  "That's
the funniest thing I've ever heard."
I said  "Maybe we could not talk to each other
for a half hour?"

Ray"
