Assorted Bits

Temperance pledge

5 from RIMBAUBY DICK--the Pequod meets the Driunken Boat

"A capital ship
for an ocean trip
was the walloping window blind
no gale that blew
dismayed her crew
nor troubled the captain's mind"

5 pieces from an ongoing series-more may be seen at

one fine day in the great port of Hamburg, a man signing himself John Rimbaud attempted to join the American navy, unaware that this required the applicant to be a US citizen--

what if, indeed, by some odd chance, aboard a passing ship, Rimbaud had sailed to America--

and found work aboard a whaler (though these were then nearly extinct --)--or--stowed away aboard an expeditioning vessel, like that in our next tale--

Wish for Peace

Keith,
My wish for peace is for adults to teach children peace: we can't
achieve peace if war is considered to be normal and if violence
is considered to be an acceptable way to settle disagreements.

Wish Tree for St. Louis Artica Festival 2008

My Artica Festival project for 2008 is a Collaborative one, I am presenting "Wish Tree",
a performance developed by Yoko Ono, and presented in locations worldwide since 2007.
"Wish tree for St. Louis", this work, will collect the wishes for peace of all who participate, and fill a tree with the wishes. the piece will be performed this saturday and sunday, October 11th & 12th, from noon till 4 p.m., under the trees directly across from the arch, near the main stage on Lenore K. Sullivan Boulevard.
Following the weekends performance, the wishes will be collected from the trees, catalogued, and sent to Yoko Ono, to be buried in a capsule at the foot of the Imagine Peace tower in Rekjavic, Iceland.
This piece will be performed at various locations in St. Louis throughout the year.
As a document of the event, a special issue postcard designed by Yoko Ono, has been printed by Fluxus/St.Louis, which will be signed, dated, and stamped by myself, and given to everyone who contributes their wish. Please join me in realizing this work. peace, Keith
P.S.If Anyone wants to participate - just e-mail me your wish this weekend, and I'll print it out for the tree. make sure to include your snail-mail address too, and I'll mail out a postcard document.
